I saw a jetsteam G-MAJK arrive from Luton last night ! Any ideas what it was up to ?

Out of interest, does anybody know how old that thing is now?

April First Visitors

The first seven days of the month have been busy with first visits from our regular airlines.

Last night (07th) Jet2 let us view B737-800 G-JZHT which arrived on EXS22M from Tenerife South. This aircraft was delivered to Manchester over fourteen months ago and is the last of the new builds to grace our concrete/tarmac.

KLM sent two of their latest Embraer 190s on the same day (06th) with PH-EXV on the mid morning KLM1541/1542 and PH-EXY on the night stopping KLM31F/78E.

Ryanair were plentiful with new B737-800s. EI-GDB RYR36QF/2332 Kraków (01st), EI-GJA RYR2324/214D Gerona and EI-GDH RYR76SX/7N Dublin (02nd), EI-GJI RYR76SX/7N Dublin (03rd), EI-GDR RYR99E/62YV Dublin/Palma (04th), and EI-GJJ RYR76SX/7N Dublin (06th).

Phew!

It did a Luton to Manchester to Luton charter yesterday, probably conveying rich football supporters for the City United match!

 

[Finger66]

Interesting that this football charter wasn't cancelled. Perhaps we should tell T3 there are always football fans flying LBA - SOU and LBA - ABZ! Sorry, think that's several weeks of stored up sarcasm is one sentence.

According to FR24 today’s Faro to Leeds service is being operated by SU90 EI-FWD I find that hard to believe.

According to FR24 today’s Faro to Leeds service is being operated by SU90 EI-FWD I find that hard to believe.

It was in fact operated by Boeing 737-800, EI-EKR. Think Flightradar24 being playing up recently.

 

[Seasider]

You have to accept that FR24 is not (and doesn't say it is) 100% accurate.

Twevsmiff, it's only a technicality I know but it wasn't an overshoot, which is when an aircraft lands and fails to stop on the runway, it was a go-around, which is when it makes and approach but climbs back out and doesn't land - the usual situation in foggy conditions.

Afternoon White Heather, thank you for you comment. From Collins Dictionary-
verb:-
If you overshoot a place that you want to get to, you go past it by mistake.
The plane apparently overshot the runway after landing. [VERB noun]

verb transitive:-
Word forms: ˌoverˈshot or ˌoverˈshooting
to shoot or pass over or beyond (a target, mark, etc.); specif., to fly an aircraft beyond (a runway, landing field, etc.) while trying to land

Note overshot(verb transitive) - To FLY an aircraft beyond a runway/landing field, while trying to land.

I know the pilots now say "go around" but in the good old days(when I were a lad) they reported overshooting.

Or missed approach

Overrun

I'm sure that this phrase has been used when an aircraft leaves the paved surface at the far end of the landing run.

Putting protective headgear on!

Overrun I think is also called, in accident reports, Runway Excursion.

Falcon 8X F-WWQA just entering the hold to carry out 2 ILS approaches(CAT 2) and go-arounds

Just a heads up - The Falcon 8X has now completed his two approahes here and heading to Tesside for two more approaches.
He is then due back here in around one hour to make two more approaches here, depending on traffic due to the weather.

 

[a300boy]

Any idea why ?

Hawk, call-sign "Pirate 06" just establishing on ILS, for go around and route towards Scampton
