Flight routes?

Local-womanizer

Is there any one to find out flight paths taken by planes in/over this country?It seems I live under a busy enough flight path and would like to know what countries the planes are coming from etc.

Thanks in advance!

You would be getting DUB-SFO, DUB-ORD and some American flights to Frankfurt, Paris etc.

I was suprised at the amount of planes in the early hours of the morning.Nearly constantly hearing them go over.They would mostly be flying from the west to east.

That shows some of the airways up there

That hour of the morning you're looking at flights from North America to Ireland/UK/continental Europe. About 90% of traffic across the Atlantic transits Irish airspace.

Later in the day (around noon IIRC) the flights start to depart back across the pond, so you could expect to see east to west streams.

Somebody posted up details of the track structure here before, do a search for North Atlantic Tracks or maybe wiki it?

Thanks for all the replies.

Always wonder where all them planes where coming from and going to.In the summer the amount of vapour trails you can see is mad.Lucky feckers flying to the sun.

Thanks again for the info,much appreciated.:)

I was in Kerry for New Year's Eve and during the day there was a few planes going from East to West over Tralee Bay and I wondered were any of them transatlantic services from Shannon.

I caught one on full zoom with my camera (x18 zoom) and from what I could make out it was an MD-11 as the engine was on the tail...

If it was a MD11 it was most likely a transatlantic service.

Just looking at the flightplans for the 31st- nothing from Shannon went that far south on that day

Maybe it was a cargo one going to Dublin or something...
