A Kuwait Airways Boeing 777 just flew over my house on the way into Glasgow Airport (about 5k ft), was not expecting that and did not have my camera ready!

They're back at least a couple of months, but only seem to be doing shorter runs.

Cavok Air have been very quiet of late, which makes me wonder if their fleet is grounded for the foreseeable. Though, I haven't read anything to suggest that.

Thanks, I had previously seen a UAA An-12 over the mid-east a while back.

The only Cavok An-12s I have seen this year have been over West and NW Africa.

I see a Saudia 773 (SV96225) descending over the Irish sea (possibly comming into DUB)
Why would that be?
Maintenance or otherwise?

First time posting here so I hope I've picked the correct thread.

A loud plane passed overhead earlier. Because it was loud enough to cause me to go outside and take a look, I checked for it on Flightradar and it was AW277. However, 20 minutes ago or so I heard a similar loud plane and went out to see one heading in the same direction on what looked like pretty much the same flight path. However, there was no sign of it at all on Flightradar. Is that unusual or are there flights that don't show up on it?

Ryanair on the way to Liberia from Dublin at the moment. Repatriation I take it. Flightradar24 lists flight time as 6.40.

Not unusal, could have been military

Try this website where it happens, it will probably be on it

Thank you. Do we have that many military planes here in Ireland?

Could you explain why when you click on a plane twice I think it brings up the plane's flight path and some of them are just going in circles or random squiggles?

Also is there a key/legend somewhere on the site that explains what the different plane symbols mean?

Anyone know why Ryanair is operating a DUB-ROB flight at the moment? That's a heck of a journey in a 738...

Irish Steve

There's a lot of smaller aircraft showing up on FR24 at the moment that are doing survey or photography work, taking advantage of fewer commercial flights in controlled airspace, and the better weather that's been meaning higher or no cloud cover, and there are also more light aircraft that are used for training showing up.

The almost total shut down of passenger traffic has meant that these sorts of flights are more conspicuous than might otherwise be the case,

The symbols vary depending on which package option you take, and in theory, there are different symbols for helicopters, small single and multi engine, turboprop and varying jet commercial aircraft, though they are not specific to type of aircraft, more size related.

That's a really strange one, aid run of some sort?

25 min turnaround?

Or did 2nd crew go down?

Doubt they will fill the tanks in 25 minutes, that's almost max range for an 800, so will be close to fumes by the time it lands, the FR trace is showing 5300 Km trip distance, and google says 5700Km Max range.

Given the flight length, I would think either a stop over or a second crew on board for the return, with pre flight preparation and the turn round, it's going to be close on 18 hours round trip time, and as far as I know that's outside any discretion limits.

I asked the same question and was told that private hire have different hours regarding crew duty hours, Compared to normal commercial ops.

The Ryanair is on the way home, airborne 20 minutes, so they didn't do a bad job of getting it turned round to come home.

That’s really tough. Whatever about EI turning crews turn around, at least they have lie flat business class seats.

7 hours plus on one of those aircraft????

I did 5-and-a-bit to Paphos and my backside was numb! I can't imagine sitting in those seats and then having to operate back...

Via Seville I think for a fuel stop.

goingnowhere

Back flying after Seville stop.

Curious option to go with FR, but fair play to them for making it happen.

EI could have sent a 321NEOLR down which would have the legs to get back without a refuel

Are the 321 not getting used on the US flights a lot more since the start of the pandemic.

goingnowhere

EI have 4 of them, LRD is stored, LRB and LRC spent the day on the ground in Dublin.

737 is a better hull going to 'unknown' locations as they have built in stairs and bulk loading in the hold, and the 737 responds well to a spanner due to its ancient design.
