I still worked for them at that time !!

Does anyone remember the problem we had wtth the runway 14 Glideslope aerial when it was first installed due to the signal disappearing down the tunnel and they had to re site it to stop it happening maybe another move of the site would resolve the issue but as somone has pointed out a lot of...

The ceiling minima for an NDB or RNAV approach would not help with a situation like we had.

ILS for runway 32 unservicable due to snow ?? Not sure what that means.

N Not looking good for any flights at all today they dont seem to be able to get the place open like they used to in my days ! Maybe tomorrow morning will be the new opening time. Glad I didnt book a holiday as the last time I used Lba in the winter was The Beast from the East Day and I ended...

Now light snow at 2300 but 3 aircraft just landed one to come from Dublin at 0040.

And they need to be Cat 3 Capable and kept so.

As a Snowman you risk melting !!!!!

So does anyone know what’s wrong with the runway 14 glide slope !

Still closed and Tee-Side have an Helvetic Embraer 295 holding just north of us inbound to them as they must have some snow problems too.

It started snowing around 0530 at LBA so 4 hours 30 mins to clear the runway and the glide slope and LBA beacon are inop so I will leave you all to decide how you think the situation is today.

@quik123 I was not answering your question as there are others on this site who are more up to date with this information as I have only flown light aircraft since my retirement in 2002 . I was just pointing out the unusual landing of Tui when they normally divert in low visibility weather.

So when did we last have a Tui B737-800.make a Cat 3 landing at Lba ? A very happy matter of fact crew member on the radio no fuss about the light tailwind and whilst it did use a lot of reverse thrust and all the runway to stop a nice change of policy. I hope it’s a new attitude to Lba at...

I came back from Majorca on Thursday and the lady next to me was returning to the Northallerton area with her husband after landing. Three Jet 2 arrivals mid afternoon and we were the last to get to a length of the terminal que for passport control.

I had better buy a holiday cottage near Doncaster New Airport then !

Not to my liking the airspace south of Lba is much better now for GA.. Doncaster was a major reason not to fly that direction unless like I and my flying friend who use Sandtoft and Strurgate a lot its heaven. The Caa now have mandatory reporting in place for any infringements of airspace with a...

A lot of people in the industry are thinking that Jet 2 are being courted by the South Yorkshire politicians to look at the lease deal Doncaster are offering around for Finningley. The next two or three months could tell us more if they are interested. You never know what they may be offered to...

Yes it is often poor and difficult to understand as I am so close to the airport it is a mystery to me and I use a tranceiver rather than a receiver to listen at home. Dont notice a problem from the aircraft though when flying in and out of LBA in the diamond star so difficult to understand why.

No sign of a Sun Express tomorrow which is a Wednesday so is the next flight on Sunday ?

Three Airbus A321 aircraft on the ground at LBA together !! Is this a first ?
