The passenger was unconscious and became conscious on their way towards Dublin, don't know the reason of him being unconscious though.

Crew may be out of hours, that strikes me as a possible reason.

Would put money on that. Back to LHR and new crew change then off again I would imagine! Long night for the pax, luckily they're not subject to the FTLs

Customs and Immigration at PHL would have been closed at revised time of arrival, hence return to LHR. Dublin ATC asked them on departure!

15:20 BLCF just coasted-out over Liverpool and heading NW to Drogheda or Dundalk ( FR heading a bit erratic at the momemt )

Being chased at the port stern by another Atlas-operated aircraft, B763 N640GT.

Just saw them flying overhead and thought I'd check them out on FlightRadar

There is an Air Canada 767 due to land in a few minutes. End of lease maybe?

I saw it :P
Lufthansa's often go out into the ocean for hours at a time from SNN, some sort of training or testing.

homerjay2005 · 10-02-2016 9:35pm

didnt even need to check the FR to know that the plane thats just passing over Dublin now is an Antonov.

most unique sound ever!

10-02-2016 9:37pm

Nice AN-12(4) sound over Dublin

Some sound.

Yep. Jumped at the app when I heard it. Very distinctive.

Really is nothing like it, amazing!

It just flew over my house. Great sound from it.

It sounded like it was skimming my chimney pots! Couldn't believe when I checked FR24 to see it was at nearly 30,000 feet :eek:

That's the AN-12 for you

I had a feeling it was one of those when I heard it, but was still shocked when my suspicions were confirmed.

The AN-12 must be heading to Iceland.

Does the big monster one (125??) ever fly over Dublin?

I know it was in Shannon a year or two, but if that's what a small one sounds like, I'd REALLY love to hear the big one!

That would be the 225

It did fly over Dublin some time last year, having departed Shannon. I never heard it, though.

This is one of the best videos to hear the 225, but you may want to fast forward, if you don't want to see the full thing:

The smaller 124 doesn't sound too dissimilar to the 225.

Shannon757 · 10-02-2016 11:34pm

Saw the 225 take off last year from Shannon. Ground shaking feeling and the noise is deafening.

Orenair 777 squawking 7700 just after take off from punta cana. Has done a circuit over the island and heading back in the direction of the airfield. No dumping of fuel and would be pretty full for the trip back to russia so must be a pretty serious emergency.

smurfjed · 11-02-2016 2:47am

Nice video, but it must be empty as Russian aircraft usually use the curvature of the earth to get airborne, kinda like the A340-200:)

smurfjed · 11-02-2016 2:52am

Can anyone tell me what type of Transponder is fitted to the ATR family? A company has recently started using them in my local area, and they do not show up on TCAS unless you are within 5 miles or so...

arubex · 11-02-2016 9:54am

ATR lists L-3 T2CAS or Collins TCAS II as options.

ADS-B on the 600s is NXT-600, same as new Q400s.

BZ · 11-02-2016 10:49am

RJ264 ORD-AMM 787 diverting to SNN with a medical emergency.

Engine shut down, sparks off the gear on landing and a full evacuation once on the ground.

HeidiHeidi · 11-02-2016 9:46pm

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but it is plane related.....

There was a plane (I'm 99% sure it was the same one) doing laps over the city today about 4pm..... I was out walking and noticed it the first time as you'd almost never see planes above Ranelagh and it was quite low - then it appeared again, then again, and then (although I was indoors the last time) again. Each pass was maybe 3 or 4 minutes apart

It didn't look like a regular commercial/passenger plane.

Anyone know what that was?

Trebor176 · 11-02-2016 9:49pm

If quite low, perhaps it was one of the Air Corps CASA aircraft.

HeidiHeidi · 11-02-2016 9:51pm

Aren't they blue? This one was white, with a horizontal bit at the top of the tail fin (pardon the lack of technical jargon on my part :eek:) . Doesn't correspond to pictures I can find of the Air Corps planes......

Shannon757 · 11-02-2016 9:54pm

Someone out of Weston perhaps?

HeidiHeidi · 11-02-2016 9:57pm

Shannon757 wrote: »

It was much bigger than the little things you'd normally see around there.

First time I saw it I thought it was a flight taking off or coming in to land on a very odd flight path, but then when I saw it again and again I realised it couldn't be. But it was of a size with say a Ryanair plane or similar, maybe a bit smaller but not a 1/2 person craft.

Can't remember if it had propellers or not, should have noticed that!

Gah, it's really bugging me now!

Shannon757 · 11-02-2016 9:58pm

If it was commercial it probably would have shown up on Flightradar.

I didn't check FR at the time.

Is it possible to replay flights over Dublin for a period of an hour this afternoon? I've poked around on the website but all I can find is a search function that needs you to know what flight you're looking for.

There is a playback function. It's the clock beside the search bar, I've checked but didn't see anything. I'll post a link in a sec.

Nope, definitely not that (again, going on pics I've found online of it)

Bigger, and with a top horizontal bit on the tail fin - that's the bit I remember most clearly.

Thanks for the link to the earlier FR, I'm not sure I'm working it properly though - I can't see anything at all moving on it!

Anyway, I've taken up enough of this thread already. Thanks for the guesses and the info! I guess it'll just have to remain one of those "unknowns".

Yep, and it still does the few circuits now and again up my way.
