FlyBe might be sorry now they didn't get ATR's instead of the Dash-8's :pac:

2Excel B722 G-OSRA westbound coasting-out over Liverpool, looks like a candidate for Dublin or Shannon.

How strong must that wind have been, for the plane to turn to the left whilst dragging the right hand side along the runway...

Why only one departure and EI and BA the only ones cancelling flights so far according to DUB info?

We see this at Belfast City, too, BA tend to preemptively cancel flights throughout the day to prevent knock-on with the rest of their schedule. Whereas FlyBE keep plugging away as best they can, which is great for originating passengers but causes chaos down the schedule.

~~

As for Boeings v Airbus in crosswinds, bear in mind that neither company has done full envelope exploration; the highest they each encountered during testing was 33 knots ( 737NG & A320 ), so they booked that as the 'maximum demonstrated'. Well in excess of certification requirements, so why spend more money unless a customer stumps-up the cash for further work?

Still in Shannon at the moment. It's one of two 'oil spill response' 727's operated by T2 Aviation. They have an 'oil dispersant spray system' installed.

I've gotten an exceptional amount of 7700 squak alerts today, all from Western Europe!

Another one now, QY2135 DHL from Edinburgh to East Midlands.

Inbound Shannon at present.

Wind tomorrow looks quite tricky for Dublin, could well be delays and possibly diversions.

JCX BXC

RWY16 in use this morning, although UA22 is opting for RWY28. Winds look like staying favourable for RWY16 until around Midday when the wind should switch to around 240 degrees which is favourable for RWY28.

Am at the north end of 16 now watching an A330 sideslipping it's way in.

Something gone around at Dublin, can't see it on radar so not exactly sure what it is. Edit: It was BE6963 from Inverness.

Current wind 210 degrees 32kts gusting 41kts, AA723 have informed ATC that the max gust they can accept is 31kts from 210 degrees.

Are the company limits for American quite low in comparison to other airlines?

JCX BXC

Wind gusting up to 49 knots from 220 degrees, outside of several aircraft limits for RWY16, all aircraft entering holds now.

I left my spot north of Rwy 16 around 40 minutes ago and the wind had increased noticeably since I arrive there. I'm home now and the winds have gone up another step since. No big surprise that this'll impact on operations.

Gusts down now to 42kts, aircraft making approaches now with only slight delays, with the exception of one private aircraft which has diverted to BFS

What time is this expected to peak ?

JCX BXC

The 11am TAF changes the forecast (less definitive), saying that winds gusting up to 48kts are possible between 12pm-2pm.

Rain is just arriving in Dublin now which could mess things up with a wet runway.

JCX BXC

FR7257 MAD-DUB gone around. Wind gusting up to 47kts.

JCX BXC

FR9429 BGY-DUB and FR2371 STN-DUB breaking off the approach due to strong winds.

Runway still reported as dry.
