Flightradar24 Thread Part III

Looks like it is the Aer Corps. Landed in Denham Aerodrome which is very close to Harefield Hospital, a Heart Lung specialist unit. I suppose it makes you think. Possible organ transplant. There will be a winner and a loser.

Don't think so. I think the Coast Guard have Sikorsky's. It could be the Air Corps or a Co. Limerick based multi millionaire? He has an AW139 reg EI-LIM

It was a privately owned 139 that took off from Shannon and for your info all Coastguard helicopters are Sikorsky S92s

Looks like a week of cancellations and delays thanks to yet another strike by French ATC

smurfjed

The now-traditional summer season of wrecked air travel plans begins early in March this year. Tens of thousands of passengers are likely to be grounded by the first strike of the year by discontented French air-traffic controllers, which runs from 6 to 10 March.

The industrial action starting on Monday involves members of a small union, ICNA, working at air-traffic control centres in Bordeaux, Brest and Aix-en-Provence.

I guess that my flight back to work on Tuesday will have to take a longer route....

Doesn't look like its heading to SNN?

EDIT: Looks like it is, just a loooooong approach, anyone one the reason why?

Edit2: Fuel leak apparantly.

As of late they've been showing more and more, don't particularly know why. They're unarmed civilian aircraft realistically, some of which are used (albeit less and less) for transporting troops.

CMB544 clear as day there after taking off from SNN. Must be becoming a regular thing.

As it was when it was arriving from Dallas!

They always showed up on flightradar anyway, anyone used to seeing them would always know it's an Omni.

Foggy at Cork, anyone know who runs the Cork ATC feed? It keeps running marine forecasts.

sounds like (i havent listened) the cork feed may be linked somehow to my op's feed as i have a mix of eidw ops and marine running on it.

im gonna try changing my ops feed to radio nova or something and see if that comes through cork. will try that at 7.30 approx.

Mech1

I have thought for a while through various comments on here that something like this may be happening, but i dont listen in at all really so havent checked.

JCX BXC

Thanks very much

Mech1

ok my ops feed is now running RTE radio 1, is that what your getting from Cork? i havent time to check and i dont know the cork airport code.

Nope, I'm still getting occasional messages from the Dublin Coast Guard, hearing no radio!

EICK is the ICAO code for Cork btw.

Mech1

Thats good, its not coming from me so! Thanks. ops eidw going back to normal now.

The cork feed has been picking up marine transmissions for a few months now, maybe some people like it, i personally think it's a bit of a pain.

It gets in the way of actual transmissions, and there's only one cork feed!

Anyway, it's live ATC not live marine radio!

Just in case anyone thinks of directing that comment at me, this is what I posted at the time I setup the EIDW Op's channel:

Mech1 wrote: »

So just a finishing note tonight,

Another new feed setup and is live tonight! Its called "EIDW Ops"

Its freq listing has been left at Misc because its a totally moveable feast.

It may or may not at anytime be broadcasting the ops freq's, it is totally up to me, and guided by you, what we are hearing on that channel at any time. So dont be moaning at me or LiveAtc if its not doing what you expect.

This channel is running off a top of the range scanner, so almost anything is possible, we might end up some night listening to the Coastguard (Go Sully!) or irish rail or Dublin bus if needs be.

Any amount of freq could be in this channel mix if needed.

The base setting for this channel is EIDW op's so if anyone has any interesting op's freq please let me know.

Oh and more separate feeds still in the pipeline so stay tuned.

Pat.

Wasn't directed at you pat.

EI-CJX Aer Lingus 757-200 off on a test flight from Shannon.

EI110/111 SNN-JFK-SNN resumes on Monday, between January and March the 757's have a fairly slack schedule.

Was it in for maintenance? Seen CJX do the EWR-DUB run a few weeks back but noticed it was only 3 of the 757s in use by EI nightly at the minute

Yup! There's a picture on the Shannon Airport spotters group of EI-CJX getting work on the right hand side engine!

FR7123 from Tenerife scheduled arrival at Dublin 23:45, showing delayed 00:20 on Dublin live arrivals, but showing estimated arrival 23:24GMT on FlightRadar. Can anyone give an educated guess as to which might be nearer to the actual arrival time ?

JCX BXC

Id wager that the flightradar time is correct.

KoolKid

Probably left late & made it up on the way.

RustyGate

Having been badly caught out before by Dublin airport live arrival times suddenly changing at short notice, I also guess it will be FlightRadar. How does such a big discrepancy occur in these times ?

robyntmorton

IIRC, and I may be wrong - Dublin Airport give times gate to gate, ie when the aircraft leaves the gate it has departed, and when it gets to the gate it has arrived. FR24 is wheels up to wheels down, so departure is off the runway, arrival is on to the runway.
