Edit: I posted in main forum , think I should of posted here.

Hey all, I was just watching the flight radar and an aircraft (EXS301T) was circling Shannon airport for ages then eventually landed, my question is: does anyone know why a plane that (according to FR24 and assuming its right)took off from Manchester heading to prestwick, ended up doing circles in Shannon?
here is a link I think.

As with the 2 above, looks like crew training.

Not always, but often training flights have a T at the end of their call sign.

Thanks for that, would you have any input in relation to the flightpath? it looks like it did take off from Manchester.

JCX BXC · 26-06-2019 6:14pm

It was never destined to Preswick, flightradar still seems to fail to recognise which callsigns are regular and commercially scheduled, and which callsigns are used for various destinations (for example Training or Positioning)

How do you see private jets that arrived into an airport earlier in the day?

Seen one landing in Kerry today but can't find anything on app.

Nijmegen · 04-07-2019 8:53pm

Just saw A6-BNA take off there, brand new 789 operating as EY48. First flight in Charlestown exactly 2 weeks ago and delivered to Etihad on 28 June, first revenue flight 1 July. Always a thrill to see brand new birds taking off.

hey, just wondering if anyone can track past flights? was in Croatia last week and we were on the flight path. One night, I looked up and saw two planes about to cross paths. When others looked up, people really though they were going to hit and a few people were shouting. In fairness I did get a little panic attack myself for a second. It was dark and all we could see was the lights so prob a huge difference in height, but thought I would ask.
Info I have: location : https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Zaton+Holiday+Resort/@44.228155,15.1670306,779m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m8!3m7!1s0x4761f59e4d0dc82b:0x8d127608d21f3960!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d44.2281512!4d15.1692193

Local time: circa: 10.40pm on the 29th June. one plane inbound and one out bound and ill guess Zadar Airport? long shot but thought id ask :-)
cheers

I just had a look at the playback for that time and location and attached an image of it. EWG1724 is on approach to Zadar at about 2200ft and AWC583 is departing Zadar at about 4700ft. 2500ft separation between the two planes, which seems fine to me, but maybe not a good idea so close to the ground. I'm curious if this is a normal practice to have one plane depart towards another plane on short final like this?

tv221 · 07-07-2019 6:57pm

EI JSK in a bit of bother out of shannon at the moment. Is that JP'S plane. Sounds like issue with wheel bay maybe.

Landed safely

Indeed. It was JP's plane

And EI pilot actually posted a picture in twitter recently of the ATIS at BOS on an evening he was flying out of it and it showed 15R dep and 33L arr, which are the opposite ends of the same runway.

Thanks a mill, great to see a pix like that. I see the timestamp at 8.40, if it was 10.40 in Croatia, wouldn't it mean it was 9.40 or is that just when your video starts? anyway...scary couple of seconds hoping I wasn't witnessing a crash!! thanks again

That 20:40 is probably UTC/Zulu time so an hour behind Irish summer time

Yeah, flightradar24 runs off UTC/Zulu time and Croatia is currently UTC/Zulu +2hrs at the moment.

Maybe this has been answered here before but why is the Tellus survey plane not showing up on flightradar24?

The_Outsider · 09-07-2019 1:17pm

I'd imagine it's because it's flying so low most of the time.
I see it popping up between survey details when going to/from host airport.
not sure of the normal altitude during a detail, but it's eomething like 3-400 feet.
FR24 coverage in Ireland isn't good enough to pick something like that up.

Does flightradar24 not work on transponders transmitting the location of the plane?
Like when the Malaysian airliner went missing, the pilot turned it off and it disappeared off fr24.
I wonder is just because the transponder could interfere with the surveying devices?

Yes, but it gets the data (outside the US) from people setting up their own receiver to share the transponder signals. If the aircraft has an operating ADS-B transponder, it needs at least one receiver to pick up that signal to get a position. If the aircraft does not have ADS-B but has a Mode S transponder, it needs multiple receivers to pick up the same signal in order to triangulate the position.

Survey1 operates as low as 200 feet above ground in rural areas, so if there's any terrain/buildings/trees etc. between the aircraft and the receiver, which is very likely at those altitudes, no signal will be received.

Just saw a flight low overhead QR707 according to flight radar, from Doha to Washington. But seems to have turned around any idea why?

Ahh, appears to be landing in Dublin for some reason

Medical emergency on board. Ambulance en route to aircraft. I heard the plane passing overhead near Dundrum. V loud and unusual so I knew something was up.

Enjoying a long delayed flight on FR446 to Liverpool. Turned around near the runway to return to gate to let a pax off.

Why did said pax need to decamp the aircraft?

Antonov An-12BK UR-CKL inbound to SNN from LUX, due 7.40pm this evening.

Appears to be routing towards DUB at present @ fl 200.

Looks like the Aer Lingus flight to Birmingham EI276 has taken up a hold after takeoff from Dublin and is turning back to the airport now.

And other arrivals appear to be told to take up a hold until after this aircraft has landed.

EDIT: Apparently a suspected tyre puncture with fire vehicles standing by to follow them down the runway.

Saw it take off and circle for a while afterwards. It was followed long the runway by emergency services after landing. Any word on what the problem was?

Bird strike on departure. Flame from right engine and crew declared pan pan

Cloudio9 · 20-07-2019 5:37pm

Looked like it came more or less straight back. That must be well overweight for landing ?

smurfjed · 20-07-2019 8:21pm

That must be well overweight for landing ?

Which isn't an issue. They can assess the landing G level and follow the appropriate maintenance check procedures
