some epic banter on the shannon feed this evening

highlydebased · 13-12-2015 06:30PM

This looks like an invasion almost!

JCX BXC · 13-12-2015 06:32PM

Most of those aircraft aren't actually there, they were in that position hours ago

High winds? Takes a bit more than 12knots to affect a plane

Oscar Bravo · 14-12-2015 12:11AM

Not when its a tail wind and looking for CAT II approach onto 27....

In the case of the both, they were able to accept 300m vis, which is CAT II ILS limits, which means that the wind was within their tailwind limits for RWY27.

Sorry, daily, scheduled maintenance. Big feck off hole in the RWY that needs proper fixing

Landing SNN is Qatar Cargo B77F A7-BFC

JCX BXC · 14-12-2015 12:23PM

Ryanair holding at Knock, one seems to be making an approach on RWY09 now though.

homerjay2005 · 14-12-2015 02:50PM

looks like a fun flight path, second one following behind them also doing the same route.

monkey9 · 14-12-2015 05:33PM

Why do flights change course from one day to another? For example, i live in north Dublin and there can be days when planes fly directly over the house towards the airport.

Saturday was a case in point where there was flights every few minutes flying over throughout the day and into the night. I was having a look on Flightradar just out of interest to see what destinations they were coming from.

They'd be flying in over Dublin Bay across north Dublin. But there were no planes flying over yesterday. Flights that were coming from the same destinations as Saturday were instead flying in around Celbridge, Kilcock etc.

EICVD · 14-12-2015 05:36PM

Planes don't land on the same runway every day, that's the simple answer to your question.

Winds change. RWY28 is the most common approach, with aircraft landing in from the Irish sea. This is because a westerly wind is the prevailing wind.

The 2nd most common approach would be RWY10 in my wind. This is basically planes coming in the other direction to 28.

Then you have RWY16, which can be in use when RWY10/28 is out of service or when there is a strong southerly wind.

The most rare approach is RWY34, it can be in use when RWY10/28 is out of service or when there is a strong northerly wind (Which is rare)

The number of the runway is the direction it's facing, eg RWY28 is facing 280 degrees, RWY16 160 degrees etc.

The most common wind in Ireland from my experience is usually around 220 degrees to 260 degrees.

You learn something new everyday! Thanks! :eek:

To say that the breath of my aviation knowledge has now been expanded by an incalculable amount is an genuine understatement on my part.
Many thanks for your truly insightful response, I am forever in your debt.

Trebor176 · 14-12-2015 10:31PM

I can't say I've heard of these before. The 737 took off from Shannon and is heading to The Midlands.

And, G-NOAH is passing over the south of Ireland now.

JCX BXC · 14-12-2015 10:38PM

East Midlands? Cargo, runs every weeknight.

From Shannon you have these cargo flights:

*Week-nightly SNN-CDG on an ATR42-300 (for FED EX I think)
*Week-nightly SNN-EMA on a 737-400 (DHL)
*Week-nightly SNN-DUB-CGN on a 767-200 (Star Air)
*Turkish airlines IST-SNN-JFK/ORD/ATL on an A330-200 once/twice a week.

Thanks for that. I did notice a DHL aircraft departed Dublin for The Midlands (almost there), which also has a similar flight number to the one I mentioned in the previous post, so that explains it

highlydebased · 14-12-2015 11:03PM

The SNN EMA run is usually done by ASL but last week a DHL 757 was involved

It's known as East Midlands Airport (EMA/EGNX) or, if you're really old, Castle Donington.

EIN82Y (EI823) breaking off the approach to 17 at Cork, climbing to 4,000ft looks as if it's going to join the ROVAL hold. EIN715 (EI715) inbound behind maintaining 5,000ft. https://www.flightradar24.com/EIN82Y/845d818

EIN82Y landed, EIN715 on finals now.

JCX BXC · 15-12-2015 04:24PM

EI823 on the ground now.
