Money flight into the airport and air support for the ground transport in trucks.

*awaits the obligatory thread elsewhere asking about the giant convoy on the M50 and what it could possibly be for?*

No specific times, that would make it too easy to predict movement for anyone foolish enough to try

Runway 34 in use at Dublin.

Lucky bastards.

In all my years of flying from Dublin, I've only ever taken off/landed on RWY28, except once when Ianded on 10.

Chris_5339762

I've taken off on all four combinations, and landed on three. Just not 34

john boye

Finally completed the set when we took off from 34 early one morning last December. Really catches you off guard when you're expecting 28!

Hearing them coming in over my house! Love it!

I've used 05, 10, 16, 23, 28 and 34! First flight was off 35 (as it then was) in an Aer Lingus 707.

All of them, and 29 as well, but never got to use 11 for some reason

The fun was back in the days when 23 was the main runway, and being snuck in on to 29 between 2 arrivals on 23, or departing from 29 with a very early left turn before 16 across 23 to then depart on track on the extended centre line of 16.

The hairiest morning was an ILS to 16 with a wind of 050/14G20, we couldn't use 05 as they were building 10/28 at the time, and there were no lights or precision approaches at the 05 end, and it started to snow, so the only option was to move to 16 or a diversion. Only time I can remember looking for the runaway out of the right hand window on short final, due to the offset.

All in the days before they had SSR at Dublin, so once outside of tower control, it was all procedural and separation by levels and distance, unless you were lucky and could see the conflicting traffic. Fun Days

First wave of incoming today are arriving on 34.EI104 is the first in. 28 will probably reopen shortly.

Outstanding.

Is EIN1KP a new callsign for EI104 JFK-DUB?

it's certainly on FR24 at the moment, but that may be a lack of full information on their system, rather than a change. There are 2 330's within a 1000 Ft of each other in Mid atlantic right now, the EI104/EIN1KP, and EI100/EIN1TC from Newark, almost inseperable on FR24 at the moment, they are so close, one at FL380, the other at FL390. The EIN1KP does not have the normal flight number on it today.

Slightly scary, at 0240, there are 18 long haul flights on FR24 inbound to Dublin , 3 over Europe, the rest all coming from the States.

Is there any reason why flights from America always arrive in the early morning?

Time zone difference effectively, nobody wants to depart New York at 2am or 4am, so you won't be arriving in to Ireland from about 12pm - 6pm. Then many (myself included) wouldn't like to spend the day light hours travelling eastbound over the Atlantic, so I suppose were left with the 6am-11am window for most arrivals.

I think it's a crying shame that we don't have more daytime eastbound flights.

By all accounts the EI one from JFK was full most of the time. I've taken BA via LHR on more than one occasion so as to avoid the purgatory of the transatlantic night.

Doesn't really look like a true 7700 approach!

Surely there is a reason that Aer Lingus have discontinued it for this year?

AFR8 on final approach to CDG now

DL33 LHR to Atlanta seems to have turned back and decending into SNN.

KL939 AMS-DUB went around at DUB, not sure why, seems to be taking it's time for a second approach.

Gone completely for me, poor ADB-S radar's on them, disappears below a certain altitude.

There aren't grades of 'good' and 'bad' ADS-B transponders, in Europe all commercial aircraft must have at least Level 2 Class 2 which gives 130 watts of tx pwr. In the USA I believe the minimum is 250 watts.

Anyway KLM's E-jets don't have ADS-B at all, they're Mode-S only unlike the F70s that they're replacing. So FR24 needs at least three and preferably four receivers with line of sight. Without that they'll 'disappear' at low altitude. They'll need to be retrofitted with ADS-B in the next couple of years.

Poor choice of terminology on my part.

EI101 DUB-EWR diverted to KEF (Iceland) today.

Seems to be an interesting mix of 757 and 330 aircraft on that route lately, is that intentional?
