    Very strange that they are doing calibration during the day, normally done in the middle of the night when there is no traffic.

    Using a Diamond DA62 G-GBAS, nice looking design which I wasn't familiar with before today.

    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.

    I wonder was some equipment faulty or replaced that necessitated the calibration.?

    Ye, great MPG, and low motor tax!:D I wonder can it legally run on marked 'green' diesel or do they have to pay full whack?

    I noticed before a united 777 going up and over the Pacific Ocean when heading to Hong Kong from New York, now tonight I see them going the other way up and over the atlantic ocean , is the routing similar time whether they go west or east and what way they end up going is just based on the winds etc ?

    Cargo aircraft on the ground in Dublin unable to accept departure from RWY16, wind 250 degrees 33 knots gusting 49 knots, will taxi to RWY28 and wait for that to reopen.

    Update: Just taken off from RWY28, it was IMX359 an ATR72

    ET500 and EI100 inbound DUB now, about 20 minutes out, followed by EI118 and ET502 behind them.
