I've never seen them route via Dublin before like that, I'm sure theres a reason though.

JCX BXC · 16-11-2015 07:19PM

5pm TAF for SNN tommorow giving a prob40% tempo 260degrees 38kts gusting 55 from 2-5pm, which if came to be would likely halt operations.

ORK also forecasting a 40% tempo of 260 degrees 30kts gusting 45kts, between 12pm-5pm, which would also stop most operations at Cork due to that being a severe crosswind.

Too early to tell yet by the TAF's, but tommorow isn't exactly the day to be flying by the looks of it.

Wind ATM in Cork is calm interestingly (According to ATC)

Crosswind of 19kts. Headwind of 52kts. Theoretically there is no max headwind limit only cross and tailwind limits. But it would be a foolish pilot not to know there own personal headwind limits.
In my experience anything over 45kts is difficult to control (on my type) on the ground as the aircraft is looking to keep flying!

EI845 just went around at cork and landed on the second attempt.. Fog is the likely cause.

Hope its windy as fook inthe morning for my take-off, I love a windy one, especially when the plane turns sideways

Hold on tight, we're landing sideways ...

That may rule out 17/35 at ORK but what about Stobarts and Cityjet operating on 25/07?

Think the gusts are still a little high for the stobarts (to be able to handle, not sure there is a headwind limit), not sure about the cityjets.

Cork will suffer massively tomorrow with an almost complete crosswind from 10am onwards. Id be surprised if anything manages to land between 10am and 4pm with those winds.

Shannon will have a bad crosswind early morning, but that shouldnt cause many problems due to the winds being light. For the rest of the day the wind is either directly aligned with the runway or close to it, so there probably wont be must disruption outside of the 40kts gusting 60kts.

Nothing notable on Knock, max is 3pm-5pm 300degrees (WNW) 20kts gusting 33

To assist any new people on the thread can you put the coded TAFs with the decoded version? That way everyone can learn to read them in short hand (Coded version). It won't sound like the proffesionals are up on our high horse if everyone understands our lingo:D:D

As I like to pick up obscure peices of info: the TAFs and METARs were originally coded in their current short hand version to cut down on the amount of words sent via morse and telex ( remember them:D) each 5 letter "word" or group of text was charged for by the Carrier company ie. Marconi etc.

pepe the prawn · 17-11-2015 01:43AM

It's funny how things change, I can analyse and interpret a coded TAF/METAR much quicker than a decoded one, i just got into the habit of ignoring the decoded option and ploughed on with getting to grips with the coded version.

I agree with what growler says, it would be useful to have the coded version posted also to help people understand the shorthand associated with it.

rayfitzharris · 17-11-2015 11:51AM

Lads and lassies, has anyone noticed the upgraded fr24 pro app on iOS has done away with the different aircraft icons? They've made it a separate in app purchase.

I'm in the middle of an email exchange with their support who are insisting this has always been the case and I never had different aircraft icons. I most certainly had.

It's one of the reasons I bought the pro version and out of principal I never buy in app purchases in a paid app. Anyway just wondering if others had noticed here. There are a few posts on their own forum about it..

KoolKid · 17-11-2015 12:26PM

Are you mixing up pro and premium.
I thought I had to pay for them as an in app purchase using pro on Android. But they were included when I used premium and log in.

I don't think so, in iOS the app i purchased was flight radar 24 pro. The free one was just called flight radar 24.

Since the latest app upgrade they've dropped the pro from the app name. But mine still has most of the old pro features except the plane icons.

I've never logged in to the premium version on the website. So I can't comment on that.

I'm feeling a bit defrauded now, as I paid for the app, used to have these icons. Now they're gone and they want me to pay for them again via an in app purchase.

Seems a ****ty thing to do.

colbarr · 17-11-2015 01:13PM

Cessna Citation took off DUB RWY10 while LH978 on approach to RWY28. I'd say that was interesting for both sets of pilots seeing a plane heading straight for them for a while!

They stopped using the different plane icons a long time ago and changed it to an optional in app purchase (on the regular paid app). Flight radar premium comes with all the add ons.

Naw it only gets interesting in foreign countries where they dont have radar and the controllers are talking to one aircraft in a different language.

In Dublin it wouldn't be an issue.

Update on storm force winds for this evening:

"The Dublin region including parts of Kildare, north Wicklow and south will feel the full force of this windstorm at about 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. with 90-100 km/hr sustained winds and gusts perhaps reaching 130 km/hr."
- Irish Weather Online @ 13:00.

Thats roughly 55-70 Knots.

Will flights be cancelled or just diverted inbound from Dublin?
