What is he doing...? Just watching on FR

The I-RVR's on the 14 end increased up to 400m so the Gulfstream 4SP, N515JA accepted an approach onto runway 14 got in and landed on the first attempt after holding for 10 mins. The inbound Jet2 Boeing 737-300, G-CELF operating EXS206 from Amsterdam is just holding while the ILS is switched back around as he wants a CATIII onto runway 32 where the l-RVR's are currently as follows: Touchdown 350m, Midpoint 350m and Stop end 400m.

On FR he disappeared close to Barnoldswick. I'm so please you have reported he has landed safely!

Shows that you shouldn't place too much trust in FR24
I once watched the flight track for a PIA flight inbound to LBA. FR24 showed it landing somewhere near Bradford city centre.

earlier this week Jet 2 B737 G-CELS made two approaches and go arounds which I watched on FR24 I suppose he had no Cat 3 capabilty but the bit that bothered me was both approaches looked left of track on FR24 pointing straight at my house and at around 400 ft went around almost on my roof top.

Good job that real radar is accurate then isn't it!

 

[a300boy]

I know you guys in the " tall tower suite" watch what is going on so would not let him land on my house.

According to FR, my daughter's Jet2 757 landed in the sea 2 miles off shore from TFS last year and on the way down it disappeared off the radar altogether for around 400 miles mid Atlantic. Fortunately an Aer Lingus A320 in front of it had disappeared in exactly the same position and re-appeared to the North of the Canaries, so I knew what to expect, but to the un-initiated it can be a touch worrying!

Forgot to say, did I see an SAS plane at the airport a couple of weeks ago?

 

[White Heather]

You did leedslad, but it was actually a Flybe ATR72 in SAS livery doing training flights. It was here on several occasions actually. I think they have a contract to operate in Sweden and the aircraft have gone over there now

Noticed tonights Southampton flight was operated by a Jetstream ! Is the Saab broken or not enough passengers to fill the Saab.

 

[a300boy]

I know there was a rain storm has just passed over the airfield which might have reduced Visibility for a short while, seems to have cleared now as Jet2 Boeing 757-200WL, G-LSAK operating EXS088 from Newark looks to been vectored around for an approach on to runway 32.

 

[a300boy]

He needed a 20 mile final due to a reported flap problem !!! Now on the ground.

Strange that A300boy, as Eastern Airways BAe Jetstream 41, G-MAJK did this morning's Aberdeen rotation whilst Saab 2000, G-CFLU did the Southampton rotation as planned. Saying that BAe Jetstream 41, G-MAJT has just positioned out empty as EZE22P and looks to be heading for Humberside
