AW.169 G-TCAA(Helimed 81) being vectored onto ILS runway 32(1305) for go-around and route to LGI

Why would they use Doncaster in preference to LBA? I assume Leeds is open and fitting in around other traffic isn't an issue.

Watching him on radar earlier he was doing visual circuits at Doncaster, so the longer runway is always useful. Just looked again as I type this and he is still in the circuit at Doncaster.

Plus jet aircraft doing circuits at Leeds in very unusual, so as not to annoy the "locals". And we don't want that do we???????

Bring back the Fokker F-27 from Belfast, used to a visual circuit most nights in the summer as did the Dublin Ryanair from memory, used to come right over the top of my folks house then hard left turn for late finals 32

We used to get the Jersey European Fk27 and Janes Aviation HS748 on the downwind approach for 32 over my house in Pudsey!

Perhaps when they’re overflying GALBA territory they should just switch off their engines and glide in. Problem solved!

Had the new flight routings that were proposed been approved it would have brought about constant descent flight plans, so arriving aircraft would have just about done exactly that. But of course it was rejected , largely due to complaints . Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
Of course, the reality is that these people don't want aircraft over them at all. They would object if LBA was a glider base only!
