Jaysus , its fairly hard to understand a word they say !?
Why do they speak so fast when delivering fairly important information!?
Mybe they get used to it ?, but even so youd think such precise info given a bit slower would be easier/safer all round?
It's all fairly normal for them (pilots and ATC).
Let's say you are driving and we give you a callsign Shamrock 123A (Alpha).
The are basically saying, cleared to take the M1 M50 approach to Dublin, Shamrock 1 2 3 Alpha. Then they repeat back.
Slow (descend) to 100 kph Shamrock 1 2 3 Alpha and repeat.
Cleared to take Ballymun approach, slow to 50 kph, callsign and repeat.
Cleared to land, wind this from this direction.
All very routine and easy when you do it day in and day out. Think of it like you are driving home and had to call out the route that you knew you were taking and then having your own callsign.
of course they are used to it, but its so fast and 'mumbly' , i just wonder why its not slower..
Are they in a rush, sothey havtatalkquicklyandlow .......... ?
😁
It's the same as any language, it sounds very quickly when you don't understand it.
Given the number of aircraft sharing a frequency, the chatter has to be kept to a minimum.
Couple of EI go arounds I notice, one today, once yesterday, around the same time, both 330s, calm weather, training?
Ryanair just went around also actually.
What is the aircraft that started out from Eglinton and is currently over Leitrim/Roscommon/Mayo doing?
Surveying
Evening all
Im not sure herebulus the right thread, if I’m in the wrong place Mods feel free to shift as You deem fit.
Im from Newbridge & an a319 belonging to Air Canada Rouge ( RV2360 ) just passed over me ( thank goodness for this fabulous weather clearing the sky ). I know it’s an ACR as I checked on FlightRadar. That plane left Dublin flew as far as The Dingle Peninsula then turned back. Was there something wrong with the plane?
Sorry for being inquisitive, but one of the joys of being from Newbridge is that with FR I can check all this planes to see where they came from and where to.
There's been an AC A319 in maintenance at Dublin for a few months. That's probably the one you saw, doing a test flight.
Thanks EchoIndia
Anyone know the reason the aer lingus and Ryanair went around? Was out at airport with my son and saw them one after the other then both landed on 2nd attempt. We were thinking maybe crosswind as both were fairly rocky but wasn't that breezy! My son is dying to know, cheers!
Warm weather draws an onshore breeze, but winds above 100-200ft are normal westerlies. Winds go from a a reasonable tailwind to a reasonable headwind quite quickly sometimes with windshear. Aircraft are going around because they are unstable for landing. Quite normal for Dublin in the summer.
Why are planes arriving to Dublin making strange turns before approach today
Holding pattern while they wait for a slot to land basically.
Bit of a roundabout route to Manchester
Probably a positioning flight with a bit of training towards Knock thrown in.
If they were the ones Adversarial posted the photo of, they’re an Air Corps CASA and PC12, flying in formation
The Aer Lingus UK aircraft frequently come to Dublin for maintenance and on more than one occasion have departed westwards initially, possibly because a direct DUB-MAN flight is so short and more time in the air is required to check systems.
So they're planning 330 ops into Knock for the catholic equivalent of the hajj 🤣
Actually it's because a 60min flight time is required to sign the aircraft off for ETOPS after maintenance. Direct to MAN will not be long enough.
Birmingham to Cork flight time 3hrs 49mins.
Does anyone know what the story is with this flight from Oslo to Knock? I just watched it land after 11pm - I was sure Knock wasn't even operational this late in the evening?
Viking Fk played Sligo Rovers this eve they are returning to Norway tonight.
You'd think they'd go by sea. Call themselves vikings!
I notice a few US bound flights taking a very south-westerly track after leaving Dublin,flying over us in Clonmel. Weather?
The routeing in Irish airspace will be determined primarily by the North Atlantic Tracks for the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Tracks
It looks like today's tracks are quite southerly. https://flightplandatabase.com/nav/NATS
Hi all.
There have been Ryanair planes going around in circles at Shannon today, any idea if this is training or maintenance??
