Don't know a lot about this but just asking.
Did he declare an emergency as the article states? And would that not have been signified with a Squawk of some sort? Thanks

Didn't hear the whole incident but on switching frequencies to Tower, the pilot began his checkin with "United 76 — your emergency aircraft — with you..." which would imply they had declared previously.

Cheers for that.
And just for my info, would that not show as a squawk * something?

I have no training in this so I'm totally open to correction, but my understanding is that 7700 is recognised as an emergency squawk code. Pilots can set this squawk to notify ATC of an emergency without speaking on the radio, but they're not necessarily required to do so. Having declared the emergency by voice, ATC will pass on that information to other relevant controllers (or maybe they can tag the aircraft as an emergency in their systems to have it be passed on automatically).

Again, this is an outsider's understanding and I have no particular training in this area.

Poor weather and likely windshear on RWY21 at ACE (Lanzarote) causing plenty of go-arounds and diversions (10+), nothing landed in over an hour.

Among the diversions is FR9943 ORK-ACE to LPA (Las Palmas), and now in the hold is EI876 ORK-ACE and EI778 DUB-ACE

Wind is it?

Wind is only 14-17kts, but its from the south, which necessitates the use of RWY21 (Over mountainous land), which I've heard (on here I think) that windshear and unstable winds are common on that approach.

Rain and drizzle all day there apparently.

Lot of Las Palmas - Lanzarote flights in the air right now. Obviously diverted there earlier today

My flight instructor thought me the below to remember the codes

7500 'takin alive' - Hijack
7600 'In a fix' - Lost Comms
7700 'Gone to heaven' -Emergency

Obviously depending on the situation a pilot will squak then contact ATC once the situation is in hand......or not

Aviate - Navigate - Communicate

3 Challengers on FR parked on the private at Dublin......afaik they are white and blue, presumably they are belonging to a company?

Where would the alternates be if the Canary Islands were out of bounds?

All airports? I don't know, I think they go with the assumption that there will always be an airport available, providing the forecasts are okay. Only the RWY21 approach at ACE seems to he having problems, all other airports coping fine.

RWY16 in use at DUB. Anyone know why? Wind at 230 degrees.

NOTAM says 10/28 closed 1400z-1500z probably for maintenance.

CVK7087 an antonov 12 approaching the south coast looks like it might be heading for shannon.

USAF C-130H 74-1679 heading eastbound will pass over Dublin c. 20:00 at just FL220. Good noise I hope.

Is this unusual, or is it a blip on the info from FlightRadar?

Edit, sorry it will be gone, haven't time to do a screenshot etc. But it was a flight going out, that seemed to be going back!

JCX BXC

Flightradar blips but not that much!

Returning to Dublin it seems.

I'm guessing that's a post-maintenance test flight.
