Delaying tactic to make an oceanic entry time restriction.
Any definite answer on this, my friend saw it from the ground and is curious.
If the wind was from the SE I would expect runway 16 to be preferred.
I would assume that it was because there was a pretty brisk south easterly wind yesterday so runway 34 was in use.
Cool flight path! And yes, I know it's a calibration flight or something. Just haven't seen them do perfect circles before.

That woke me up this morning taking off.
knew it was something different so jumped out of bed, didn’t see it tho.
Just looking at flight radar now, is it a regular thing for flights coming from Spain etc to fly as far north as Nobber in Meath before turning South for Dublin. Is this happening because the airport is very busy?
Possibly a time restriction at the oceanic entry point that they were going to be too early for so a few delaying vectors to bring that time back in line with the restriction.
I've never seen a transatlantic passenger jet do this. What could be the reason for it?

That's a ferry flight callisign. I assume it's for painting.

This bird just flew over the house. Any reason for the diversion? Seems a bit too early for a fuel stop.
Dropped a few off on arrival yesterday

Must be for another flight as he's seemingly performing some aerial surveys.

As this is probably the most active thread on a+a forum I'm asking here for everyone to look at my last post in the EIDW thread,
Thanks,

That's regular - several times a day by a variety of operators.
