    EI-FOG on its first day in revenue service today, operating LTN-KIR now.

    I'm guessing it did DUB-LTN before becoming a LTN based ac?

    It operates the DUB-LTN flight then operated a flight to Copenhagen and back to Luton, then on to Kerry

    Wind!

    Just spotted it, wind 250 degrees 24kts gusting 37kts (ATC)
    16:00 reports for ORK gives 240 degrees 25kts gusting 41kts

    Seems EI875 had a go-around, and is now holding.

    Edit: going to make an approach now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,105 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Also at Dublin just now WX119 had a go-around on RWY28 and is now on approach to RWY16.

    You sure he's going for an approach?

    Completely, listening into ATC now.

    On the ground.

    FR24 messing up the altitudes again.

    I was guessing the passengers wouldn't like a sudden 1000 ft drop to the ground at the last second.

    I wonder which airports EI725 (LHR-ORK) will end up in tonight. ORK,SNN or DUB?

    Wouldn't be the most absurd.
    What an awful bus journey that would be.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Jack1985


    Guys little pointer, the altitude seems way off because the local QNH at DUB is 976hPa. There's actually a NOTAM has been released in the London FIR to remind crews to adhere to STD pressure settings as there is a change of nearly 600ft off and on to the local QNH due to the current WX.

    I see RYR88MD (FR7033/EI-EMD) seemed to roll of B2 into the T2 cul de sac? Not your area boys ;)

    Purely out of interest, can someone look through the TAFS, decode them for me, and just let me know what the gusts were at Gatwick last night (6th) when FR119 was taking off?

    I was on it and it was rough enough taking off with winds from the south... deviated from centerline a bit once we were up (fine) but I'm just intrigued how close we would have been to crosswind limits. Probably not very close but I'd still be interested. Thanks!

    FR119 took off at 21:39?

    Looking at the METARS (Weather Reports), TAF's are the Forecasts, I could look at those too but the METARS are more useful.

    These are the two relevant METARS:

    EGKK 062150Z 19019G29KT 150V220 7000 RA BKN012 09/08 Q0987
    London Gatwick, 06 Feburary 21:50, wind 190 degrees 19kts Gusting 29kts, variation from 150degrees to 220degrees, visibility 7000m, weather moderate rain, clouds broken at 1200ft, temperature 9c, dewpoint 8c, QNH 987 hPa


    EGKK 062120Z 17015G29KT 7000 RA BKN016 09/08 Q0988
    London Gatwick 06 Feburary 21:20 wind 170 degrees 15kts gusting 29kts, visibility 7000m, weather moderate rain, clouds broken at 1600ft, temperture 9c, dewpoint 8c, QNH 988 hPa

    Almost complete/complete crosswind on Gatwicks RWY26/08 with a gust of 29kts. With a wet runway the crosswind limit is around 35-40kts for Ryanair I think, could be wrong there though.

    Lots of variation for max x-wind dependent on breaking action - Max x-wind with good breaking action for the 738 would be 35kt, going all the way down to 15kt dependent on breaking action being either Good (35kt), Med/good (30kt), Medium (25kt), med/poor (20kt) or Poor (15kt).

    For example with the latest METAR at DUB (210 at 20kts gusting 34kts) on RWY16, the x-wind would be 21kt.

    Is there better braking action than Good?
