The same as last night. Well, one was anyway. There was one out and about earlier this evening as well.

Aircraft over head centre in San bernardino due to shootings. Dept of Homeland security and Fox News on the scene.

There are at least 2 other small planes up also in the circuit, one of which is registered to The Dept of Homeland Security

On FR24, how do you find out there's an aircraft squawking 7700 or any other number? Is there a subscription requirement?

On the app u pull out the left tab, then alerts and tick the box. I never had free version so I don't know if I'm paying for it Tbh.

Thompson flight TCX976 currently low off the west coast, 18,000ft, G-TCBC

I think it's safe to say it's not a passenger flight

What's the story with this ? Madrid to ? via west coast ?

Some sort of test/training flight.

Friend of mine who is a nervous flyer is heading off to Edinburgh on Saturday morning! I didn't tell her about the forecast winds and heavy rain, she'd have lost the plot...

11pm TAF's up.

Dublin has a 28kt G 45kts 220degrees wind from 4pm-7pm. That may cause a few problems, its an equal 60 degree crosswind to both RWY28 and 16.

Cork has a TEMPO from 2pm-12am of 220 degrees at 29kts gusting 46kts. Can't see stobarts doing much at ORK tomorrow, and other services will struggle. (RWY17)

Shannon has a 220 degrees 26kts gusting 41kts from 12-3pm, cant see much or any disruption here. (RWY24)

Knock has a 220 degrees 31kts gusting 50kts from 12-3pm. If that wind happens I'll be surprised to see anything land. (RWY27)

For Newbies: The number of the runway (EG RWY 28 in DUB) is the direction in which it faces. So RWY 28 in Dublin is facing 280 degrees, RWY24 in Shannon is facing 240 degrees. So for Knock, Cork and Dublin tomorrow, they will have 50-60 degrees of a crosswind tomorrow compared to the wind being 20 degrees off at Shannon.

That Jet2 on approach to SNN and EI711 landed on the 2nd attempt.

Wind looks disruptive all this evening and most of tomorrow.

It would appear that FR24 is very glitchy today I just spotted a Bond Helicopter's Dauphin, SW of Anglesey doing 675 knots.
I know there is a fair bit of wind today but even the old Lynx speed record wouldn't have been a patch on that one.

Hi there,

Would you envisage any departure difficulties from Shannon c. 10pm tonight?

Thanks in advance

Looking at the forecasts winds, the inbound flight from MAN looks like it won't have difficulties. Once the plane arrives its there's not much of a crosswind forecast so you won't have a problem with takeoff.

Ei3843 (Stobart)gone around at Cork

...twice now

Edit. Heading for Shannon

Departing at around 7.30 in the morning from Dublin to Gatwick and arriving back tomorrow night at around 9 - would you think there will be any departure or arrival difficulties in Dublin?
