Flight Radar 24 pt 2

[NoGravyForYou]

I don't know if anyone else has made one!
BA2665 has missed LGW and is circling again

Some interesting attempt landings going on around the Canary Islands today! Massive sandstorms causing some flights to divert to Morocco.

Well the pilot on our plane peddled hard and we landed on time at LGW - blustery but nowhere near as bad as last weeks departure.

Is BA2702 ok? 2 hours to go until it reaches Tenerife but descending rapidly near Portugal.

LS1265 to Tenerife now descending too near Portugal?!?!

Actually is something going on in the canaries? Even internal flights are acting odd...

Yes there is, I should read the news first

news.sky.com/story/canary-islands-blanketed-by-apocalyptic-sandstorm-grounding-flights-in-and-out-11941399

Both seem to be preparing to land sooner than Tenerife!

I'll have to join in next flight, someone I chatter to on here was on a night flight. I was saying 6 hours! on WhatsApp etc but it would have been soothing to watch as I couldn't sleep

The BBC have nothing about it so thanks for the Sky link.
I wonder if we'll have red sand on our cars in a few days - or even black sand depending on where the next batch of wind comes from.

What's the app? You just need flight number?

Flights are coming out of Tenerife so what's going on with BA2702 in particular?

If you want to see what's happening in Tenerife, heres a webcam in Playa de las Americas. Looks like hell on earth.

There is a large dust storm stopped flights on some of the Canary Islands. It seems to be Gran Canaria, Lanzerote and Santa Cruz.

Where's TUI6PB going?!

What's with N61RW Atlantic City? Don't think I've noticed anything like that before

Is BA2702 ok? 2 hours to go until it reaches Tenerife but descending rapidly near Portugal.

Going into Faro....whether that’s pre-planned to uplift fuel to then get to TFS with as much as possible or whether the weather. .....at TFS has gone below limits I do not know...

That's very strange about that TUI6PB.

Just saw a Glasgow to Lanzarote flight land in Fuertventura. I've seen videos of the sand storm in Fuertventura and it's bad so must be very bad in the other islands if they're landing in Fuertventura

Ah..visibility at TFS now being quoted at 700 metres....that could well below limits for some types of approaches and might explain some of the “goings on”...

Is the Atlantic city one a training flight?

It reminds me of doing 'circuits and bumps' in gliders.

Must be. They've flown backwards and forwards for 2 hours

Don't understand the internal canaries flight currently heading for mainland Europe though

BY6658 is the same. Very odd

It could be a calibration or survey aircraft. It's a Cessna 320, small twin prop.

Sorry that was re N61RW

Don't understand the internal canaries flight currently heading for mainland Europe though

They are not internal flights. Like not mentioned they often have a planned fuel stop.
