Air Traffic, ILS & Navigation Aids

Thanks for the info.
Strange that several flights including KLM have taken this route. Maybe not to wake the people living in Leeds City Centre

Maybe it's for you know who in Adel?

I noticed a couple of departures off RW32 around 8 a.m. today made right turns after takeoff. I'm not aware of and changes to SIDs or any ropey weather at the time.

Just looked on FR24 to see, it was Malta and Dubrovnik Jet2, then Krakow RYR and Jet2 to CFU went left and downwind left. Be interested to know why, no conflicting traffic visible on FR24 and no bad weather as can look on rainfall radar for last 24 hours!
Anyone shed any light on this?

They both asked for right turn out after lining up on 32, because of weather to Northwest

Might as well get used to it as it could be a regular routing in the future for flights heading East into central Europe .

Thanks all. I hadn't looked out of the window by this time so obviously didn't see any rough weather.

The Tower controller is virtually unreadable just now. TX strength 5 but his speech keeps fading in and out. Suspect failing microphone. Not the first time I've heard this happen but pilots don't always notice.

#a300boy. Do you ever notice this? By and large, LBA RT quality is reasonably good in my experience but this business of inconsistent speech levels is one I come across on all LBA frequencies with a few different controllers. It all seemed to begin with the Frequentis VCCS replacing the Schmid about four years ago.

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.
