Can you explain the SUTEX terms please? I don't think I've heard of them before.

SUTEX is a waypoint used for arrivals into Dublin from the south-west. The SUTEX1R has a long arc on the arrival (see link below) which is used to sequence aircraft, so without the need for holding them they fly on the arc. The SUTEX1Z is used when airlines plan the flight for fuel purposes, as they don't expect to fly the entire arc. They forgot to re-input the correct arrival (SUTEX1R) in their FMS, so their planned fuel didn't allow for the potential delay.

SUTEX 1R is a STAR (standard terminal arrival route) for arrival into Dublin from the south west, the pilot would input this STAR into the fmc as part the flight plan.

Here's a pic, SUTEX is at the bottom of the photo.

EIN77K didn't have enough fuel to continue to Dublin with a possibility of a delay. They programmed the SUTEX1Z into their FMC, which gives a straight in, whereas they should've put the SUTEX1R in, which would allow for a delay on the arc. They needed an extra 300 kilos to fly the arc and didn't have it so fueled up in ORK and continued on to be safe. No medical issue.

IT was showing on flight radar as two aircraft both the same callsign and same aircraft reg and both on the runway at cork together at the same time, the glitch is fixed now though

Ah right, didn't catch it until after it took off.

Not often that you divert to an airport further from your original destination than you were before you flew!

On the ground in Manchester now.

Newbie question - why don't the UK airports have live ATC feeds online?

And how did people here know which airport it was heading to - LHR was mentioned earlier, then liverpool then manchester? Did ye just look at the direction it was travelling on flightradar?

NATS (the ANSP for UK) blocked ATC feeds, it's illegal to live-stream the UK ATC feeds I think.

It said on UAL website it was heading to LHR at the beginning. Then flew at a 10 mile final for LPL, went past it and established on 05R for MAN.

Christ would DUB not have been a better option?

Was thinking the same thing! Jesus now it seems to be going back to 23R at MAN? Gone through 09 Loc.

Sorry, 05's you're right, silly me not paying attention!

Jack1985

Christ would DUB not have been a better option? or even SNN with facilities in place nevermind all the spots United fly to in the UK.. LPL is strange one.

Would it be dumping fuel?

A 757 going to EWR that's held over BFS already shouldn't need to for 23R. At worst it'd shoot an overweight landing, it's just running through checklists before making an approach I'd imagine.

EDIT: It's going for 09 at LPL
