Would be unusual for fog to stick around that long even for NOC! There was no diversions today despite a dense fog for alot of the day. CATII ILS is great.

FR2047 ACE-LBA diverting to LPL after holding due to Snow at LBA.

Even as far south at LTN is reporting Snow!

JCX BXC · 17-01-2016 12:29AM

All traffic holding at MAN.

You guessed it, due to Snow, some traffic landed 5 mins ago after some holding, but items are holding again. I'd imagine they have to clear the runways.

Update 23:40, Items leaving the hold now, a Ryanair on approach.

Just putting this all in perspective - last winter I was on a flight out to Zurich. Delayed on the ground in DUB because they were informed of a runway clearance interrupting the landing slot. No holding whatsoever in ZRH. I understand that snow is unexpected but perhaps some British airports need to get into that mindset. It seems every winter they have snow, why not bring in some joined up thinking... (That said they'd handle it better than DUB too).

Not many of these flying i'd say.

BA Dreamliner from Montreal is currently at FL430 over the Wexford coast. Haven't seen an airliner at that height since I don't know when.

Pretty regular for the 787s to be cruising around at FL410/430.

Yes, 410 I have seen, but this is my first 430. I was a 43 virgin up to this morning! :-)

A lot of holding for Manchester this morning. Apparently runway damage

Anyone have any further info on this Gulfstreams travels?

I was just popped up to IKEA to pick up a new wardrobe

I wish.

I wonder is it JP McManus'. I believe he bought a G650 last year. Keep an eye to see if EI-LIM will take off in a bit.

That's called flow control. Often when there is flow into Dublin there's NO holding and often after flow is lifted there's NO holding.

The problem with flow is capturing the aircraft that are airborne, it takes time to see a response to the flow. After a delay and a two hour flight you will see little or no holding (long downwind/speed control to absorb any delay).

Just putting it into perspective as well.

My point is that they delayed us on the ground as they knew there'd be snow and they knew when the runway would be cleared, so rather than knock everyone back 2 - 3 minutes it was arranged to make it easy. Just noting how it wasn't done similarly in MAN.

JCX BXC · 17-01-2016 03:51PM

I think that snow yesterday was unprecedented to an extent. Something like that may be coordinated over a deeper cold spell.

Getting a ATC slot or restriction on your departure is not new and happens on a daily basis in the summer time, it's a complete nightmare, everyday 1-3 hour slot = total nightmare

JCX BXC · 17-01-2016 06:08PM

FR807 making an approach to Knocks RWY09 (without ILS) after holding for a while. Vis isn't great at NOC currently, 6000m with a low cloud base. Broken at 200ft.

Salmon Leap · 17-01-2016 06:57PM

Looks like FR1958 Dub-NICE is returning to Dublin.

JCX BXC · 20-01-2016 03:05PM

FR805 (STN-NOC) diverted to SNN yesterday due to fog at Knock, RVR's were between 250m-275m for well over an hour.

KoolKid · 21-01-2016 03:02PM

Rwy 16 active in Dublin at the moment.

JCX BXC · 21-01-2016 03:27PM

ILS is off on RWY16.

I don't know, only heard that it was off for the time being over an ATC transmission.

Back on now anyway.

waxon-waxoff · 21-01-2016 07:02PM

I heard something strange flying overhead in south Dublin a few minutes ago. Checked flight radar and it says its a Piaggio p180 avanti.

Thats the scooter people, right? Mad looking thing, cant be many around.

homerjay2005 · 21-01-2016 09:14PM

767 just into Shannon there from Kuwait,

another 767 on approach now from Shannon to Dublin - Star Air Cargo which is regular enough.

JCX BXC · 21-01-2016 10:07PM

Somehow I missed it, but WX319 (LCY-ORK) diverted to SNN likely due to fog at ORK. Didn't even decend for cork just went straight to SNN.

The scooter business was a subsidiary of the aviation company and was spun-off in the late 1970s I think, once the scooter-hype had faded. Piaggio have liked high-wing pusher-engines since the late 1940s, mixed-in with a design tested by NASA-Ames to make the Avanti.

Gates were going to work with Piaggio to market it in the USA but pulled-out in favour of their own Learjets. Took 20 years for the Avanti to break into that market but seems to be doing OK now, they did a tie-up with Ferrari in the USA to give each other a halo-effect. About 200 built to date.

Anyone else just get a 7700 sqwauk alert for ba54 a 747. Looks like it hasn't even left London yet though.

JCX BXC · 22-01-2016 08:55PM

7700 is the General Emergency transponder code so really could be anything.
