they grabbed a coffee and pastries from the lounge on their way through...

and then boarded a corporate aircraft.... how sad... i would have at least expected caviar The coffee and pastries in the lounge are for the crew

Often Oceanic airspace crossing clearances have time restrictions. In this airspace here is no radar coverage so separation is ensured based upon something called the mach number technique; aircraft fly a constant mach number and are separated from preceding and following aircraft by time. Therefore, its quite common that aircraft are told that they may enter oceanic airspace 'At or after' a time, to ensure that the aircraft ahead of them has enough time to create sufficient separation. Usually flying slower in domestic airspace ensures this, but often it isn't possible to fly slow enough to meet this restriction and so some form of delaying action is required - often a delaying vector to create more track miles, or a simple hold or two.

thanking you.

Looks like a tactical delay probably to make an oceanic entry time restriction.

Wouldn't have thought this would be necessarily the reason, as crews generally get their Oceanics via acars just before departure from Dublin. So they would they could have timed their request for push based on this.

More likely it was a tech issue that caused them to orbit to see if they could resolve it before continuing.

There are a lot of variables, maybe they did have a clearance before departure that maybe a delay on taxi meant they couldn't comply with their time and had to get a new time; out of Dublin it's usually fine to get the clearance airborne, Shannon however it's a different story. Could've been a track change, anything!

Could have been a bear in the woods...

Probably a tech issue being worked before proceeding oceanic. Any time restriction that would require holding before entry would more likely result in a re-clearance via an adjacent track or at a non-preferred level. West bound track capacity at the time of the EI109 isn't much of an issue.

It was an injured cabin crew.
Crew were seeking medical advice before continuing.

Can't say all the bases aren't covered here! Thanks lads

Would this be a glitch with flight radar or are these 2 very close?
Both decending at the same level/rate (close enough anyway).
Flybe at 200kts and Ryanair at 240kts

Yeah its a glitch, the one from BCN landed on the M2 according to FR24, so its a glitch.

EIN43K just took off for Milan but is returning because the nose gear didn't retract.

That explain why Delta 411 went around at the same time.

Delta went around because the EIN43K hit a hare after landing and rescue vehicle/catering needed to scrape it off the runway.

Air Corsica A320 just starting up at the hangars in Dublin for a test flight out to the northwest and back to Dublin

Anyone know why theres a city jet heading from DUB-SNN

Take rugger fans from down that way to Cardiff perhaps ?!

Just preformed a Touch and Go, so Id be doubtful.

Someone mentioned before (I think), the T at the end of the flight code usually means it's a test flight. Might have had some maintenance in Dublin then on to Shannon to test it out?

Probably. Its on its 2nd touch and go now.

There 2 special flights from DUB-CWL and 1 SNN-CWL today. Aer Lingus are also using an A320 instead of an ATR72-600 on their DUB-CWL route

Cityjet is doing base training for new pilots. Each pilot usually does 6 touch and goes each.


Sometimes the letters at the end of a callsign mean...
T - Training flight
M - Post maintenance test flight
P - Positioning

I know, I posted about it already

Unusual though, does it actually have the Stobart callsign or it is just a FR24 error.

Its still a stobart flight, just a 'leased' aircraft for that flight, it will still fly under the stobart callsign and flight number

"welcome to your Aer Lingus Regional flight operated by Aer Lingus for Stobart for Aer Lingus"

Somehow doubt the CC will be saying that!
