Just over Abbeyleix now. Heading for Shannon?
Cambridge to Lajes.
EI779 ACE-DUB seems to be diverting to Cork.
Long enough flight due to land in Knock around 7 tomorrow morning
Seems to be chaos around Dublin at the moment. Just one runway in operation, so many flights circling and a few flights seem to have performed go arounds, including this one. 🙈
Quite foggy out by the airport at the moment.
there was three diversions to Shannon as well. EI130 EI-LRB from BDL, EI126 EI-GEY from YYZ & EI116 EI-LRC from IAD. EI-GEY and EI LRC are on the way back to Dublin now though.
issue with landings on Cat 3 because a alarm was going off prior to aircraft touching down. That was what I gathered from listening to ATC
looks like they will be opening the North Runway soon, a couple of planes are heading to it to wait.
Singapore Airlines 321 from Heathrow to Singapore has diverted to Bangkok.
30 injured and one fatality according to this

BA 1412 is en route from LHR to SNN to drop off two pilots and is continuing on from there scheduled 130pm to BHD with it's passengers for Belfast City airport
Imagine being on that flight today expecting yo go to Belfas 😂
One for plane watchers at SNN shorhly anyway
Good day to be at SNN
The 2 pilots are for BA 214 which is about to land in SNN and whose pilots are going out of hours due to a canceled flight according to flyertalk
Diverting due to a disruptive passenger.
I don't know how reliable this site is but it's reported as a suspected infectious disease. Aircraft currently parked remotely surrounded by emergency vehicles by looking at EU Plane Spotters on YouTube. Apparently awaiting arrival of Infectious Diseases team :o

That plus medical issues.

Two of the USAFs E-4B overflying Ireland today. Only 4 ever built. One always on alert with crew onboard. The US Sec Defense uses one for their foreign travel.

This flew over my house on its way into Baldonnel just now:
yes and it came from Washington
Julian Assange’s jet had this number of trackers on take-off from Bangkok an hour ago, shortly after, it briefly reached 43,600.
Does anyone know if this a tracker record on this app?
Not even close.
Record is 5 million.
Wow 😜, I had no idea the figures were that high 👍️
Hi folks,
Quick question for Aviation experts. I was on a Ryanair flight back from Faro last Saturday to Dublin. Nice flight but I did notice somewhere well above the North of Spain, a good bit into the Atlantic, that the plane took a sudden right turn and descended. It was a bit unusual. When we landed, I did check Flightradar and it outlined that it did take a right turn and descended from 38,000 to 33,000 feet within the space of perhaps a few minutes. It subsequently ascended back to 38,000 feet gradually. As I said, nice flight etc but just curious as to the change in flight level and the turn. Any ideas?
Thanks
Richie
Possibly weather, turbulence or other traffic, but you're unlikely to find out definitively.
Possibly flying on the 'Tango' oceanic routes, and FL330 was the level they got in their clearance. The turn may have just been a vector to allow separation from another aircraft for the level change. Did you climb again about 150 miles off the south coast of Ireland?
99% sure this was the reason….
Maybe 110-120 miles of the south coast straight line
It started descending to FL330 about 100 miles north of the North Coast of Spain.

The Faro to Manchester flight that it was tucked in behind and following also did the same descend and climb at around the same points.
Yeah, looks like you were on T9 and your clearance for that route was at FL330 (you enter at BEGAS entry point at a fixed height and speed, and exit at LASNO).
There was probably conflicting traffic moving east/west west/east along the track
edit: sorry I saw you asked why….
You went from Spanish airspace, with full comms and radar (primary and secondary) into oceanic airspace over the Bay of Biscay.
Oceanic airspace has different rules to domestic… larger separation, more procedural changes… these routes though are used intensively, so instead of causing a bottleneck trying to change from one airspace type which can handle high density, to one that cannot… they introduced the Tango routes…
These are routes in Oceanic airspace, which have some VHF (with HF backup) comms and some radar coverage which allows a sort of a halfway house of not domestic, but not oceanic airspace… flights enter this airspace at certain heights and speeds and need to hit certain waypoints at certain times, however, with the limited VHF and Radar coverage, you can tactically manage them to a certain extent also….
When they exited this route, they returned to ordinary domestic flight rules in Irish airspace and carried on the journey at a more efficient height.
edit: CORRECTION
Had a look at the ADSB track and an up to date Tango route map and you were on T290…. T9 appears to be only used for southbound flights at even flight levels (300/320/340 etc…) … Northbound flights on T290 at odd flight levels (310/330/350 etc…)
Thank you so much, that probably explains it. The descent and ascent points mentioned seemed about right.thanks for the great info folks.
This is an unusual track for such a small aircraft? Its already at 1/3 of its max range.
