    Any known reason for the G/A?

    How you getting on?

    An aircraft was still on the runway I believe.

    Waiting to get called in for drive training. Should be some time next week. The actual job isn't starting till April. Really looking forward to it.

    What timeS:D

    They'll be doing 6 take offs and landings per candidate onboard. Could be 6 or more trainees to get through.

    Oh right I was talking about initial landing for a cup of tea and that before the actual training begins :pac:

    And I guess we'll hear it all on SNN atc? Good times.

    Nope I just noticed it while I was trying to set up my SBS
    Seems to have gone off FR24 now and because my SBS is soon going to get thrown against the wall I have no idea

    KAC618 DOH-KWI squawking 7700 circling above KWI No green light on left gear.

    Going in for low pass visual inspection.

    All gears confirmed down following visual inspection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,831 ✭✭✭Peanut Butter Jelly


    I presume it has landed, no sign of it on Flightradar now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 653 ✭✭✭Aphex


    Runway changed from 15R to 15L after KAC618 landed.. Hope all is well.

    Yeah it did about 10 minutes ago. Emergency crews were requested as it's an "emergency situation". Hope it's more of a precautionary thing and not serious.

    Think the BAW1 might have been an fr24 error - it disappeared on the playback just now.

    Doesn't look good. Circled north of Cardiff and is going towards Shannon. 261 Kt speed, is that not a bit low?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,831 ✭✭✭Peanut Butter Jelly


    It appears he has landed at Shannon, altitude still reading as 1,300 but he has gone off the map at Shannon.

    shannon i guess is a more isolated location, with longer runway?


  • Registered Users Posts: 683 ✭✭✭gumbo1


    Dub is capable taking 747's and closer for decent, if there was a fire they'd probably want to land as near/quickly as possible no?

    Cardiff would have been the closest. Can it take 747s?

    Shannon was probably only marginally further. Anyway, what if it landed at Dublin and ended up blocking the runway for a prolonged period just as the first morning wave of departures kicks off, delays for all!

    But he had circled just north of Cardiff city. He had Cardiff airport as well as Bristol airport within minutes and even Exeter airport at a push.
