Ryanair from Faro just gone around at Dublin. One of the first of many no doubt.
just watched a small Citation jet land at Knock. His ground speed was down to 66kts at about 2,500 ft, picked up again as he got lower.
Winds now 220° 30kts gusting 46kts. Outside of limits for crosswind for Aer Lingus' A320's.
FR7032 FAO-DUB went around and now looks to be diverting to Shannon, EI321 CDG-DUB gone around and intentions unclear.
My God, I'd say that even predates my contributions!
FR1949 LUX-DUB gone around, wind outside limits.
Emirates EK161 DXB-DUB up next. UPDATE: Gone around due windshear
LUX one seemed to quit at 2000ft while the DXB got down to 950feet before going around.
FR1949 from LUX went around again, seems to be diverting to SNN.
EI521 from CDG also went around again.
LH978 turned back to FRA over London .
Dubjet is doing a live share from Dublin Airport at the moment on the utube
EI521 making a third approach!
Tap23v is returning to gate.
Watched it land on the live, impressively kept.
Unusual to have a third go and straight away too but got in. An A321 exiting the runway at S4 is just another illustration of the wind strength
i hope they had their seasickness pills.
Is he heading back to BHX?
not sure how to find out - but currently over north wales, near llandudno, so definitely not coming back!
Looks like Leverpool
Nope, Manchester. You'd think they'd just go back to BHX at that stage huh?
Last 2 Ryanair's gone around. Wind out of limits again.
This Ryanair go around just now on 28L seems to have drifted across the departure path for 28R
ryanair from warsaw also just did a go around.
EI915 LHR-NOC gone around at Knock.
Dublin still fairly messy too.
FR633 declared a fuel emergency, diverted to Manchester
EI915 landed at Knock.
And again!
Was up at 28L and it was insane to watch the amount of sideslip all were running on approach, and maintaining the "crab" on go around as the tried to maintain runway heading on initial climeout. The windsock suggested winds were perpendicular to the runway. The flight crews are earning their money today
Runway track*
Very important difference!
KL1085 AMS-ORK gone around.
This one?
Some amount of go-arounds just now. None of the three last flights landed.
4 of the last 5 flights into Cork have diverted to either Shannon or Dublin
And one of them is off to Manchester at the moment...
EDIT: Ended up back where it started in Birmingham....
And did FR555 finally decide to turn back to Manchester?
