Flightradar24 Thread Part II

Looking at the weather prognostic chart for tonight, there is a big area of activity in the middle of those two routes with 150 kt winds and moderate turbulence, so it looks as if one airline decided to fly north to avoid it, and the other went south, they might have different ETOPS time limits which would also impact their decisions.

I'm ready, bring it on, been a while since we hit number 1:D

Chillax Jack...max forecast gust only 40 knots....

Met Eireann giving gusts of 115km/h in Leinster which equates to around 58kt gusts right?

Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego 's in bloom;
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified in the room:
Sometime when you feel that your going,
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions,
And see how they humble your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining,
Is a measure of how much you'll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you'll find that in no time,
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example,
Is to do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.

This A321 has been on the ground at NOC for over an hour, is it too windy for takeoff?

Wind at NOC 24kts G37kts

Headwind 8kt
Crosswind 23kt.

Nope, but when every second passenger is a wheelchair user it slows things down. 757 due in at 1400 also

I think its too low to be picked up by fr24 now

I wondered why I couldn't find it again.

Looks like EI 715 isn't even going to bother trying Cork, he is over Dungarvan and has turned NW towards SNN

So much for my assumption he is now turning towards Cork again but must be over Co Limerick now, i wonder was it a weather front he was avoiding?

nope, heading into land there now. change of runway i assume.

Change of Runway?

Bad wind at ORK ATM.

26kts G41kts.

Both runways have a 20kt headwind/tailwind and a 17kt crosswind.

landing in from the north west as opposed to the South, hence the heavy deviation away from the airport from original flightpath.

Doubt it, wind has been southerly for at least a day now and EI715 is the first to make such an abrubt turn like that.

Edit: Looking like she/he let the 3 departures off before making an approach.
