Pakistan International Airlines 787 is being operated by an A310 today instead of the usual B773, AP-BEB is the aircraft in operation.

While in London I saw V8-ALI fly over the Greenwich area, is this the Sultan of Brunei's plane or an airline?

D-AWUE is operating for Germanwings today. Not often that we see something as small as a BAe 146 at LHR?

Airlines plan their routes according to various parameters such as fuel efficiency, traffic considerations and weather. It is likely the airlines flight planning department think this is the best route to take with flights from Heathrow to Lisbon. The route flying over the sea close to the west coast of France and Portugal is likely to be quieter, this will also mean fewer delays or restrictions. A more direct routing over mainland France maybe more susceptible to delays and restrictions because of the volume of traffic heading onwards to places like Spain.

Hello

The BA815 came in very high at around 2.30pm yesterday (August 10, 2016) and as it passed over perimeter fence the wheels went up and it made a go-around.

Someone near me said that further out it descended very quickly. It must have then gone up again.

Is it possible to find out what happended?

Cheers

Geoff

I think it's very unlikely you're going to be able to find out exactly why but going simply by your account of the event, if the aircraft was too high a faster rate of decent would increase air speed potentially making it dangerous to land so a go around will have been the safest course of action.

 

[geoffcox]

Thanks for the reply.

Cheers

It’s impressive watching the sheer density of widebodies moving through LHR on FR24 during the mid morning transatlantic wave. Even with the ongoing airspace constraints across Europe, the ground handling teams seem to be keeping the turnarounds pretty tight this week. Has anyone noticed any unusual tail substitutions on the morning US arrivals?
