    One is operating for Air Moldova, who are down an aircraft. These are ordinary scheduled services.

    Why was "seasonal workers?" your 1st option?

    Wow. Thank God this thread has your lightning rod quips to fall back on. It would be dead without it.

    no problem, glad it entertained...

    there's plenty of USAF traffic around the UK daily.... even a time or aircraft type goes a long way to identifying what it's doing

    John Magnier IIRC. O’Brien has the G6 (either M-YSIX or M-GSIX, he had one of them first then sold it when the second arrived), Desmond has a F900 (M-CELT), I think McManus has a Global down in WestAir, ICAO designator EFF, callsign “Emerald”.

    G-KELT has been in and out of Cork daily for the last few days to Farnborough. Timings and the owner would point heavily towards the Royal Ascot racing festival, which is 12 miles from the destination airport.

    Desmond now flies a FA7X with the same reg. McManus has a G650ER based at westair in SNN.

    Depends what you mean by "Irish air space". Its close to or possibly inside the area for which the IAA provides air traffic control services. It is waaaay outside the 12-mile territorial waters boundary (and even that wouldnt necessarily be an issue anyway, if that is what you are wondering).

    A couple of Aer Corps PC12s have arrived in from continental Europe this afternoon, first 283 from Strasbourg about an hour ago and now 281 from Augsburg. Any idea what these flights are about?

    PS. The first one seemed to descend over Cornwall before climbing again and heading this way. On the phone so can't post any links.

    This Piper twin engine looks like it took off from Nenagh, been buzzing around here for a few minutes, does anyone here know more?

    The Bluebird Cargo BO2885 which I think operates on behalf of TNT or DHL has just flown at a pretty low level almost directly over the house at about 3200 feet 1.38 am, anybody who might sleep light is potentially waking.... it’s a very built up residential area... the subsequent Blue Air takes a right off 28 for a less populated route and out over the Irish Sea... I hear nada...

    The fûck at this hour would there be a requirement to clear an aircraft for a departure in this manner.... surely a delay in taking the turn left so it’s got altitude when passing directly over large population centers after 1am would be prudent...

    Yes more fuel be burned but I’d like more sleep I was drifting off...��

    Looking at the playback on FR24, it seems to only turn off the extended runway centreline at around that altitude, over industrial estates and is above 6000ft crossing the M50 towards any built up areas.

    I don’t know the answer, but the crew might request an early turn, e.g. due to nasty weather out ahead or just if they’re running late, or ATC may have instructed it to get him out of the way of the next departure.

    Someone requested that wake up call as a special delivery from DHL for you.

    Standard Departure no drama there, straight ahead and passing 3000 left/right turn on course.

    Ive just checked the noise monitors for that departure and the highest was 73dB at the Bay Lane Station. Thats quite low tbh.

    Id close the windows or relocate from Corduff if you don't like sudden noise don't live near an airport.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,206 ✭✭✭goingnowhere


    I actually had a parcel onboard...

    Same routing every morning, same aircraft

    Bit unusual to take a left turn out of 28 and head to Wales, normally its a right turn, the RAF are asleep so a chance to shoot across Snowdonia

    And for good measure, a 747 has passed overhead enroute to Shannon as well. Very noisy too :)

    Saw the bigger one (6 engine) land and take off at Shannon last year.
    Incredible sight.
    Got really close to see it parked (near the perimeter fence) too. Amazing.
    Marty Morrissey actually got a tour of the interior (good mate of Shannon Airport boss)
