Seen that. Probably human error.

Apologies for the late post, due to having been unable to log in for the last few days. A Piaggio P180 flew over my house in Clondalkin on Wednesday evening (pretty sure it was Wednesday) en-route to Dublin Airport.

At first, I thought it might have been one of the PC9s from Baldonnel going at a good speed, but having checked FR24, I was very surprised to see what it was. I can't say that I've ever heard one fly over here, yet even see one in the flesh. It's a strange looking aircraft alright, but a nice change from the norm.

Would anyone be able to tell me the type of plane that landed in cork at 13.30pm today,it was a small one? tia

Hey just wondering why planes leaving/landing from carrickfinn airport don't appear on FR for a good while after the leave and disappear just before landing?

Cheers

The ADB-S radar at Carrickfinn airport would be very poor, so the aircraft is lost from the radar at a high altitude. The ATR42 also has a very poor radar pickup losing it at an even higher radar.

rightyabe

Yeah but the flight disappears at low altitude and can never be seen on FR on the runway. Even sometimes when the plane leaves DUB it doesn't appear on FR until its 10-15min into the flight.

Any way to improve this?

The reason it disappears lower is due to FR24 estimating its altitude and location for several minutes after losing signal.

Unless they put a better ADB-S radar on the ATR42, there's no way to improve it.

better ADB-S radar transponder

C-32A 98-0001 callsign Air Force 2 coasting-out from Wales in the descent through FL320 towards Wexford. Tech stop in Shannon perhaps?

21:10 down past FL300, definitely for somewhere in Ireland...

Onto Shannon Approach at 21:33 ILS rw 24. Controller told him to stand-by, good lass!

Departed westwards around 23:40

Just off the coast of Kerry

Shannon Control

Just west of Kerry. It's sounding pretty serious, all we have to do now is wait for media to pick it up of course...

EDIT: Making a dive for Shannon it seems.

Oscar Bravo

39 miles to run, vectors for runway 24

Shannon757

And what will they do in Shannon? Will it be there later?

Shannon Control

The protocol is to sterilise the aircraft and evacuate it, they will get a bomb disposal team out then and confirm stuff for the media. Then it will be kept there or if it's nothing then let on its way.

Oscar Bravo

227 on board

It will be evacuated, then moved to the designated bomb scare ares in the middle of the airfield until the duration of the flight time expires. Bomb disposal teams will then do a sweep of the aircraft. It will be tomorrow before it leaves.

All pax and crew will have to be interviewed aswell.

After being attacked by a Ryanair jet (accompanied by a photo of a 73 classic)

Hopefully another costly hoax.

Can anyone tell me why the plane will only be inspected after its actual time to land in Istanbul will have passed?

This is the quote from Breaking News....

The jet will then remain parked until its scheduled flight time to Istanbul elapses. Authorities will then inspect the aircraft and speak to the crew.
