Leeds Bradford: Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[lbaspotter]

Why have we got a Wizzair positioning in from Liverpool this afternoon?

That's actually the inbound Bucharest flight diverting into Liverpool due to our wet runway.

 

[Bigman]

Wet runway???

 

[lbaspotter]

Wet runway???

Yeap, you really couldn't make it up. It's like the crew are ex Thomson

 

[Bigman]

Bonkers. It's crackin't flags up here

 

[Len Fish]

Perhaps to avoid potential thunderstorms?

 

[White Heather]

No rain at all in Cookridge . But even if it's wet, the A321s have not had a problem. Seems a ridiculous divert and now having to position back

Sorry, I'm confused. That flight is still inbound, over Europe. It's showing as due at LPL at 1732 so how do they know LBA will he a wet runway? Or have they been looking at the weather radar which shows a storm in the Leeds area around that time?

It is landing at LBA without going to LPL and wears the Abu Dhabi livery (first visit?)

 

[White Heather]

It's posted elsewhere the flight was overbooked .Not sure how that makes a difference unless the extra pax were sitting in the wings. So it was full. That shouldn't stop it landing at LBA, wet or not. The outbound is also fully booked.

It is her first LBA visit, an interesting flight path up the North Sea from East Anglia, alongside Flamborough Head, crossed the coast north of Scarborough, and a scenic look at Fylingdales.

Probably avoiding thunderstorm activity that would normally have been in its routing from the Lincolnshire coast to LBA, particularly as 14 was the runway in use. Coming in from the NE was handy.

WMN is the ICAO code for Trident Aircraft who's call-sign is "Waterman". However the pilot was using "Whiskey Mike November" as his radio call-sign.
