For those interested, the Aer Lingus 321 NEO LR is airborne from XFW and enroute to Dublin.

Can’t make it out to the airport but if anyone gets a few snaps of its arrival please share. Cheers

Just about to post this myself. FR24 not showing reg or destination though.

It’s EI-LRA and she’s enroute to DUB. Hope the rain stays away for the approach in.

EIN2395 off Norfolk now.

Something a bit unusual heading over Dublin towards Weston; De Havilland DH.104.

Sounded fantastic!

Tabnabs

It sounds like an angry wasp, and not in a good way. 10,000ft and climbing and that's one noisy mother.

Piaggio Avanti, to avoid confusion with the previous post about a DH104, different aircraft

That is one cool looking bus!

Hah, that came in over my house at just over 2,000ft yesterday, sent me running out to see what on earth it was! Most unusual sound.

LHR flight from Dublin just rejected a take off?

EDIT: New departure time is 17:00h GMT

EDIT2: Looks like this flight using Aircraft EI-DEJ was swapped to EI-DEI - (according to Flightrader24 anyway).

This is the 2nd/3rd time there’s been a problem with this exact flight in the past week.

Not a reject, ill passenger had to go back on stand

Sitting on DUB-SZZ. Apparently a 45 minute ATC delay. Looking at FR24 it looks like everything heading into Europe is being similarly hit.

Are you sitting comfortably?

ATC delays are normally due to a failure somewhere. Since all flights are registered and flight planned, their route, timing, etc.,are known. However, en route delays can be created by equipment failures not foreseeable at the time the flight plan was filed.

ATC delays are not 'standard'

There is a cargolux 747 on its way in to Dublin shortly

Guess failures are a daily occurrence then !!

En route flow control due to capacity is absolutely a daily occurrence during the summer months.

So far today, Eurocontrol is reporting 0 minutes of delays due to ATC equipment, and over 120k minutes of delay due to ATC staffing and capacity.

I heard a very loud plane last week so I looked it up on the app and was shocked to see a 747 over my house!

Now its landing again in Dublin! I love 747s

Normally due to a failure to a failure somehwere? If you're including staffing issues, demand exceeding capacity or weather issues as failures, then yes.

Technical failures aren't that common in comparison, but it tends to be when they do occur, the delays can be significantly worse than the normal everyday causes and suddenly the press takes notice and makes a fan-fare.

@barryM, what impact, if any, do you think the new CPDLC communications will have next Feb?

Further improvement in face of constant increase in traffic volumes and, in some places, lack of co-ordination between ATC systems. There are still constrictions applied for overflying.

CPDLC is designed to provide more efficient communication, where it is necessary. It is not designed to deal with increased demand for slots at peak times, for example.

Pull back (-) on FR24 to see the real problem in central Europe and then look up the data on the number of aircraft/operators over the last 5/10 years and, if you can find it, the number of ATC professionals recruited.

Relate all that to density v time of the year.

Typical issue -

"Due to frequent "provider aborts" that Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) was experiencing with certain avionics packages, they have instituted a white list to ensure that only approved aircraft with avionics packages that have proven to perform well, or with packages that they have insufficient data on, are allowed to access their ATN-B1 services. Operators must apply to have their aircraft added to this list before their aircraft's ATN-B1 request will be accepted by MUAC."

This just flew east over me in Dublin. Very loud! Didn't get out in time to see it though

Also in Dublin, wondering what the faster-and-buzzier-than-the-usual-little-propellor-planes entity was going across the sky, had a look at FlightRadar - yes, Strikemaster

Ha, in another of my whats-that-plane moments I had already looked that up and was reading a 2016 article on the associated personages...

What was it?? Gone off FR now
