Flightradar24 Thread Part II

EI3709 BHX-ORK holding at Cork due to winds out of limits.

Current wind 250 degrees 19knots gusting 31knots, just 2 knots outside the limit for stobart. They are hopeful the wind will drop to the forecast winds.

Just as I speak, the gust drops to 27knots, now within limits.

I think there was a Stobart departing at around the same time, maybe they weren't ready.

I'd be sceptical of that, its very possible that RVR's went below 300m temporarily.

Here something Peculiar I noticed at LHR,

Aircraft are departing on RWY 27 R and arriving on RWY 27 L.
BA268 landed on RWY 27R just there though, at first I just thought it was an error and the radar was placing it somewhere it wasn't, but infact it landed right on the runway line and taxied on the exact taxiways flightradar have listed. All departures were also holding short of the Runway too, until it landed. Happened to be EI385.

Arrivals continue on RWY 27L

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.

Your very welcome, I thought you were very knowledgeable but since you thought Monkeynuts question was interesting you're obviously another thick c€€t like so many on here

Affirm it was, but isn't mixed use of the runways forbidden at Heathrow?

Nope, just reduced as much as possible unless operationally required.

Is it any wonder the regular experienced contributors to this forum don't be on here much when your comment is an example of whats said here. The poster asked a simple question, among the aviation professionals on this forum are also inexperienced people and aviation enthusiasts who are eager to learn. The forum is for information sharing and the imparting of knowledge from experienced people, and I'm sure those who are inexperienced appreciate it, or at least they should do.

Just heard it there basically over the house. Great rumble off it even at 33,000 feet!

FR905 going around at Cork due to Fog. Making another approach.

Yeah, heard it too. The Emirates 777 is quieter at 10,000 Ft going over here than that thing flying three times higher. Unique sounding bird!

EI3729 Gone around at ORK.

Think wind is out of Limits for CAT II approach, so they will now try a CAT I approach.

RVRS
Touchdown 1800m
Midpoint 1200m
Stopend 800m

Landed on second attempt.

Wasnt diverted anyway, you don't divert to an airport two hours extra on the planned destination.

The comment on the Shannon Spotters was for the 747 yesterday morning, not that one.
