    RCH340 a C5 Galaxy taking a quite large eastbound detour around Ireland also initiated it just on entry to Irish controlled airspace

    Must not have had diplomatic clearance. USAF C-5s and C-17s are a relatuely rare sight over Ireland these days in any case.

    I'd say they knew but had to keep to filed oceanic track and then re-route once they left oceanic airspace (which operates under procedural rules and outside radar coverage.

    Its a survey aircraft from the AFOC company. Heres some of the details of their work from their website.

    They’re not allowed in the territorial airspace (within 12nm of the coast) without diplomatic clearance. Controlled airspace beyond the 12nm from a country is delegated by ICAO and is actually international airspace, so they’re perfectly entitled to be in that airspace regardless.

    What often happens is they flight plan further north into Scottish but get a re-route south by Gander or Shanwick into Shannon which doesn’t ideally suit them. It’s always THEM that tell US (or Shanwick) they can’t enter the territorial airspace and need a re-route, as sometimes they have the clearance and sometimes they don’t.

    It was posted about 10 posts back, it's doing survey work, the absence of a lot of commercial traffic is making it easier to facilitate access to controlled air space that would normally be much more restricted. A lot of flights over Ireland and the UK being performed at the moment.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    I’d assume there’s some sort of gyro stabilisation on the camera, though who knows what the limits of that are.
    Growler!!! wrote: »
    If its a dedicated Digital camera or LIDAR scanner then it will be gyro stabilised. Having flown survey for an Irish company in the past, our limits where plus/minus 5 degrees in pitch and roll. I can't recall the speed limitation but it was based on ground speed. Camera system could cope with up to 20 degree drift in a crosswind situation.

    Sorties were flown at 8000 feet (FL080) if the weather was good enough. At 3000 feet if not but the amount of lines flown was usually trebled.

    adsbexchange's MLAT (the method of triangulating aircraft using remote stations) leaves a lot to be desired. I'd commonly see 500m to 1km jumps in routes just because they seem to allow too much variance in the timing.
    So you end up getting really sloppy paths with jagged edges.
    But hey, it's free!

    I believe that you will find that winglets only become cost effective on certain routes.

    I always thought the cost effectiveness was because of the cost of instillation and if they are factory installed (like the 737) then over the course of a frames lifetime they will be of huge benefit as they don’t carry the same instillation costs

    Interestingly, the Split Schimiter winglets you see these days on many 737NG’s are not factory installed, and Boeing even buy back the factory fitted winglets and use them again on other frames

    Consensus back in the mists of time was that FR24 was the most used app/site.
    But suggestion was made a few weeks that the other resources are being used a lot more. Hence the addition of the text in brackets.

    The fuel burn from carrying the extra weight of the winglets is only offset by improved aerodynamic efficiencies on flights above a certain length, hence why JAL had no winglets on their domestic configured 747-400s. I seem to recall reading the flight needs to be over roughly 4 hours long for them to be worthwhile on the B744.
