    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.

    Ei had a similar issue with the A320 sharklets, they can be retro fitted but the mods on older wings are costly. The pay back doesn't make a lot of sense on short sectors.

    Also the crosswind limits are higher on the winglets vs sharklets, so you see A320's land in Dublin when 737NG's are outside limits.

    Interesting one into Shannon later N519SW,an A660. In around 6.30pm

    Used to be a Southwest 737-500. Odd that someone would reuse the NxxxSW registration.

    Scrap the cap!

    Owner name suggests why they went SW - SCIARA & WHITTINGTON AIR & GROUND

    I had a feeling something was wrong when I saw the coastguard hovering over the lake on Flightradar.

    It gives the expected schedule and route in the link that has already been posted twice in posts directly above.
    The aircraft will have a very busy day on the 9th June, it is due to leave Almaty International Airport in Kazakstan at 01.00 (GMT times) and fly to Baku with an arrival time of 04.30. It will then continue on to Leipzig in Germany at 06.30 with an expected arrival time of 11.30. After a two hour stopover, it will depart for Shannon where it is expected to arrive at 16.45 (local time) on Tuesday afternoon. Currently, the aircraft is scheduled to depart Shannon at 14.30 on Wednesday afternoon.

    I think dashoonage is looking for the actual route to be flown though, i.e. where it will pass overhead.

    The answer to that is not really. You could make some educated guesses, but the portion to be flown over the island of Ireland will probably be affected by the runway in use at the time, which again you could make an educated guess at based on the forecast, but not know for sure.

    This is Met Eireann's forecast chart (wind speed & direction) for tomorrow, Tue @ 1800 hrs. Winds look to be West - Southwest at around 7kts so there's a fair chance it will be runway 24 if ME's chart verifies.

    Local weather conditions are going to govern which approach is taken.
    As we’re all fully aware, Runways switch at a moments notice, on the North Atlantic Coast line and especially with an unfavourable forecast for Wednesday.

    IE-ICU hovering over Sligo port. Never a good sign in these parts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,179 ✭✭✭✭fr336


    Was walking home from work via the approach to Luton Airport this evening and this big orange and white thing starts coming towards me - easyJet, I believe they call them? Haven't seen an EZY in the skies since March it's just been all Wizz Air and DHL here! Guessing it was in for maintenance or something as they don't start flying pax until next week and not from Luton.

    Spotting car park beside Lufthansas hanger is a good spot, can fill up quick for this kinda scenario

    But you can walk in from the road and given social distancing that wouldn't be a bad idea... You could also just park up on the road to the spotting carpark and watch the approach, but you won't see the landing

    I think it’ll be earlier than that. Before 14:00 I’d imagine if it’s over Germany.
