Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Aviador]

I would be surprised if there wasn't a requirement for a 'pilot report' to be submitted to the CAA - so we might get to know eventually.


According to the FR24 trace it was in the air for 8hrs 18mins. from departure Bagby to landing at LBA. It did a leg from Full Sutton to Bagby of 39 mins. before that. Maximum endurance according to the manufacturers data is 8hrs 30 mins! Intriguing!

That's a long time without the loo

BEDPAN! BEDPAN! BEDPAN!

After doing some digging on the circumstances of the flight. The pilot was unable to see or activate the lights at Bagby and therefore diverted into Leeds.
Having trawled the internet, I believe they have runway edge lighting.

You may find this is a result of capacity restrictions at AMS, which go on for the next few months I believe, so probably nothing to do with T3/KL directly. More than LBA affected by this.

If however it is directly a T3/KL problem then I agree, it's a "farce".

It appears G-CMZI went tech, yesterday in Amsterdam. It's now not due out until ~2pm today, to operate a Manchester service. Also, this mornings early Am HUY departure is currently running 3:40 late.

If that’s correct how come if City Hopper are short of pilots they can drum up two of their own aircraft c/w crew at relatively short notice? It seems that Eastern have little flexibility when things go wrong and that more often than not KLC have to come to the rescue, which seems to make a mockery of the whole arrangement.

Travelled today in from Rome to AMS on a delayed 321N. Very nice aircraft but boy it didn’t like the wind sheer landing so we had a go around! Now waiting for the delayed afternoon LBA flight now yo be operated by KL Cityhopper. Interesting the majority of delayed on the board are Cityhopper UK destinations! Now 90 mins late as we speak.

I understand she got away at 08:42 this morning.

I hope it doesn’t happen again anytime soon, as I’ll be flying on it in 4 weeks time.

To continue the discussion from the spotters thread it’s not just the -300s that have their bad days so do the -800s. GGDFC had problems in Alicante yesterday making it hours late and I believe was meant to be the spare plane today but has gone tech again.

Jet2 seem to have a few outbound delays this afternoon.

A few aircraft suffered technical faults on top of the usual slots.

An aircraft was positioned in from EMA to assist.
