Flightradar24 Thread Part III

I'd imagine it's because it's flying so low most of the time.
I see it popping up between survey details when going to/from host airport.
not sure of the normal altitude during a detail, but it's eomething like 3-400 feet.
FR24 coverage in Ireland isn't good enough to pick something like that up.

Does flightradar24 not work on transponders transmitting the location of the plane?
Like when the Malaysian airliner went missing, the pilot turned it off and it disappeared off fr24.
I wonder is just because the transponder could interfere with the surveying devices?

Yes, but it gets the data (outside the US) from people setting up their own receiver to share the transponder signals. If the aircraft has an operating ADS-B transponder, it needs at least one receiver to pick up that signal to get a position. If the aircraft does not have ADS-B but has a Mode S transponder, it needs multiple receivers to pick up the same signal in order to triangulate the position.

Survey1 operates as low as 200 feet above ground in rural areas, so if there's any terrain/buildings/trees etc. between the aircraft and the receiver, which is very likely at those altitudes, no signal will be received.

Just saw a flight low overhead QR707 according to flight radar, from Doha to Washington. But seems to have turned around any idea why?

Medical emergency on board. Ambulance en route to aircraft. I heard the plane passing overhead near Dundrum. V loud and unusual so I knew something was up.

Enjoying a long delayed flight on FR446 to Liverpool. Turned around near the runway to return to gate to let a pax off.

Why did said pax need to decamp the aircraft?

Said she had a sick daughter to get to. Who knows, you’d hardly tell them if your boyfriend just dumped you.

Looks like the Aer Lingus flight to Birmingham EI276 has taken up a hold after takeoff from Dublin and is turning back to the airport now.

And other arrivals appear to be told to take up a hold until after this aircraft has landed.

EDIT: Apparently a suspected tyre puncture with fire vehicles standing by to follow them down the runway.

Saw it take off and circle for a while afterwards. It was followed long the runway by emergency services after landing. Any word on what the problem was?

Bird strike on departure. Flame from right engine and crew declared pan pan

Looked like it came more or less straight back. That must be well overweight for landing ?

Which isn't an issue. They can assess the landing G level and follow the appropriate maintenance check procedures
