    Well there was a female pilot on an earlier one that landed ;).


    No they are just lucky that the short runway is directly inline with the wind.

    According to FR it flew TLL - SNN on the 26th Apr

    3 hours 45 mins later took off for OSR (Czech Rep)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭Oasis1974


    See FR has Cirrus SR22T flying from Teterboro Airport NY. Its at 45k feetnow how could it go that distance its landing somewhere in Europe i guess?

    That would be an error, possibly an old registration being linked to the wrong plane.

    That's likely a private jet that has a new reg that was previously assigned to a SR22. Happens regularly with US N regs. If it's at 45k feet it's probably a Gulfstream/Global.

    512 knots too so must be error.

    It's actually N1WW a Bombardier Global 6000.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭paulhardman


    in case anyone was watching EIDW a few minutes ago... any idea what happened to EI123? Seemed to start its takeoff roll, then pull off the runway sending an RYR into a go-around.

    EDIT: Possible bird strike of plane ahead so takeoff clearance was cancelled and she had to get back in the queue! Hooray for LiveATC :)


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 14,496 Mod ✭✭✭✭marno21


    That was the lovely N7325 that departed Kerry this evening. Google the reg for a photo.
    Inbound again right now to Kerry descending off the SW coast. Fantastic paintjob on it to be fair.

    What's up with that Sunwings plane on FR24 at the moment, it's out over the Irish Sea but took off from Dublin headed out over the west coast and back now headed towards U.K.

    Post-maintenance Test?

    They currently have two ferry flights in the air over Southern Europe.

    Does their charter season start in May ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭ozzy jr


    Tracking a friends flights from Greensboro to Newark and she's just been diverted to IAD.

    I put in a filter of inbound flights to EWR and there loads of planes gone into holding patterns over Richmond and Washington. A couple of others diverting too.

    I wonder what's going on or is the holding that far south normal?

    The flight I'm tracking is UA4962.

    Just happened to be looking at a flight over the UK and saw EY101 on approach diverting to Manchester from out over the Atlantic beyond Iceland. Is Manchester the nearest diversion for an A380 in the Atlantic?

    It's a 13 hour long flight anyway and they were on the ground for 4 hours, I hope the passengers got to stand up and walk around on landing...

    Fairly certain that crosswind certification for the A380 was carried out in Iceland so that should be the first potential location (depending on weight)

    Aircraft don't always need to divert to the nearest airport, often you'll see diversions to other nearby airports if they're more convenient and the situation doesn't warrant an immediate landing.

    Obviously wasn't a medical diversion, they would have gone to Manchester as the closest A380 equipped airport with an Etihad presence already there.

    Shannon has the runway but could it take an A380 at all? Even on a remote stand in an emergency?


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 14,496 Mod ✭✭✭✭marno21

    Air France A380 diverted there last year so it can take an A380 in an emergency

    Presumably if it was less urgent they would divert to a more suitable airport where they have ops


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 9,971 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tenger


    If it’s a non medical emergency diverting to an airport with suitable company support in place would be preferred.

    EI 990 (Dub- Nice) appears to have diverted to Cork just now (14.40) according to FR24.

    EI990 isn't DUB-NCE

    EI990 is a positioning callsign, FR24 consistently mess that one up, throwing all sorts of routes down as done by EI990.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 9,971 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tenger


    Understandable perhaps, considering that 990/991 has covered most of their European route at this stage.

    Does Gold only work in Europe? Can’t see additional features elsewhere like air temp etc

    For EI

    For EI990/991 thats positioning only.
    For rescheduled flights 1 is placed before the original number
    For extra flights 2 is placed before the original number

    Shannon has the runway but could it take an A380 at all? Even on a remote stand in an emergency?

    Airbus A380 development test flights used Shannon in 2006 for crosswind and RTO testing.

    BA conducted crosswind tests at Shannon with an A380 in 2013 and announced Shannon as it's preferred alternate destination for the A380s and have used Shannon in 2014 and 2016 for an A380 diversion.

    In 2017 as already noted an AF A380 made an emergency landing there, I seem to recall an issue after it's fuel dump resulting in fuel contamination of Shannons runway.

    Separately, anyone know whatever happened to Emirates plan to send an A380 to Dublin for promotional reasons?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,281 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Shannon actually has an A380 compatible airbridge and stand. Recall seeing a photo before of an (IIRC) AF A380 with an attached airbridge, at the last stand.

    If USPC is open I'd imagine you'll just be stuck on a remote stand.

    Correct.

    When it arrived it was put on to a remote stand as it was leaking fuel and all passengers were taken to the terminal. The issue was fixed and the aircraft towed to that stand (42) and the passengers reboarded through an airbridge the next evening.


  • Registered Users Posts: 940 ✭✭✭Recliner


    How do you find out when a particular type aircraft is in the air? Say if I wanted to know if an Avro RJ85 was flying over Ireland, how would I get that info on FR24?
