    strange visitor descending in Shannon.. also one of the strangest squiggly flight paths I've seen in a while, cruising at just FL270... that might have something to do with NATS tracks and the need to go below them

    408792.PNG


    It looks like it's coming from Griffiss International in NY, must be a ferry flight, it's just weird that never did it go higher than FL270

    There was one in a few weeks ago, joining the S7 fleet apparently so most likely the case with this one too.

    Ye, ferry flight from storage in Griffiss via CFB Goose Bay and Keflavik according to the interweb. Owned by GECAS and on it's way to S7 Siberian Airlines.

    Ye, S7 leasing 17 from GECAS so there'll probably be a few more coming.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles to avoid the DRS fee.

    Started months ago, flies to Shannon daily and then onto New York, clears security in Shannon because the US don't trust the current facilities in Kuwait.

    Will last until at least March.

    At FL270 it is below MNPS(Minimum navigation performance specifications) airspace which has strict navigation requirements that an aircraft equipped for US domestic operations is unlikely to meet.

    Im surprised that they are unable to operate directly KWI-JFK, they must have extremely low MTOM aircraft.

    They can operate KWI-JFK I understand, as I said, the reason for the Shannon stop is so that passengers can undergo security screening. Shannon happens to hold both EASA and FAA standards for security, likely the main reason it was chosen for the stopover.

    I also understand that there is improved security screening "under construction" (This may mean a new building?) currently in KWI so this stopover is temporary.

    Has it been extended? Last extension I heard of was until March, situation may have changed.

    What does that mean in amateur-speak? Does the plane not meet the requirements to ever fly above FL270? Or did they just stay below it for this flight to play around with their new toy?
