Of course there are lots of exceptions from these rules.

There are some older A300, A310, A320, B737, B747, B757, B767, MD10, MD11 aircraft flying without an ADS-B transponder, which make those aircraft invisible on Flightradar24 when in areas with ADS-B coverage only.
There are also some Twin Otters, Saab 340, Saab 2000 and MD-80 aircraft with an ADS-B transponder that are visible on Flightradar24.

You'll also get the majority of those plans visible where there's MLAT coverage - but there isn't in Dingle at the moment.

I was watching a flight on this earlier, one my parents were on. I was just checking how they were getting on and its no longer showing on the radar but it hasn't arrived yet. Why is that?

fr24 technical issue. The arrival boards not being updated yet. Any number of issues.

Some older aircraft can only be viewed on the map when they are above a certain height and where there is MLAT coverage.

I'm guessing the flight was an Aer Aran flight and the aircraft was one of the older ATR's in the fleet.

You already can if you fly with Norwegian.

I hope wifi becomes the norm on short haul European flights over the next 5 years.

That is odd. Just looks like a regular flight from London to the States.

Just listening to ORK now and it's doing a touch and go apparently

Oscar Bravo · 09-01-2014 2:34pm

It did surely, off to Knock now for another ILS approach.

Seems to have leveled off at FL250 - burning off fuel perhaps? Might just be heading back home...

Someone on twitter said it was going to Liverpool and it looks to be heading that way now, any idea why Liverpool and not Dublin?

No...I do recall LPL handling some diversions in the past as it was quieter than MAN but fully equipped to deal with diversions/emergencies etc but this was back in the 1990's when it would have been far less busy than it is now (pre EZY/RYR).

Thing is they shut it off on approach

Strange that if it's a medical emergency it didn't go to the nearest airport, which would have been Shannon.

Maybe it depends on the type of medical emergency and the facilities available in the vicinity of the nearest airport?

It's not as simple as going to the nearest hospital, which would have been Sligo or Donegal.

ProfessorPlum · 09-01-2014 5:31pm

It's an A330, no, so getting to Sligo or Donegal would have been quite difficult. Limerick has a major tertiary referral centre, and even if that wasn't sufficient was Dublin nearer? Can't think off the top of my head what medical services are available in Manchester that aren't available in Dublin. Interesting decision alright.
