So we've got Dudley today and tomorrow and Eunice on Friday so thought I'd start a thread. Dudley has barely hit here in Edinburgh and already there's a flight from LHR struggling to land.

Vienna didn't try to attempt Manchester was nearly on the ground before it went back up. Shit getting real

Wind has definitely picked up at Heathrow, that's been 5 go arounds in the last few minutes! Last flight from Manchester aborted about 20ft above the ground Shock

So, so glad I don't have to be on a plane today. I really hope that the airlines double up on airsickness bags today.

Me too 🤢

Maerchentante · 18/02/2022 10:22

Munich didn't even have the line go yellow which I think it does below about 2500 ft, next shot for Chicago

BA from Chicago looks to be the next one to have a second try with Vienna in behind.

LittleSnakes · 18/02/2022 10:24

Oh maybe not. Seems to be going somewhere else now

@BabbleBee

Sorry if I appeared spikey with that comment but there’s no way an external observer can tell if a warning had been triggered on the Flight Deck. (And if by chance such info has come from a source listening to ATC comms the sharing of such info is actually illegal in the UK)..

As a bit of overview there can be a whole host of reasons for go-arounds, especially today, wind gusting outside limits (that can be detected from the wind readout on the flight deck, becoming miss aligned with the runway centre line due a gust, speed being outside tolerance, crew observing wind shear effects without a warning being triggered…the list is almost endless and can include a bit of the pilots really didn’t like what they were seeing.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/02/2022 10:25

Chicago climbing away

Maerchentante · 18/02/2022 10:26

And Chicago abandoned, too

Ocsetldil · 18/02/2022 10:27

The Chicago to LHR plane has just aborted its landing.

FishFingerseveryday · 18/02/2022 10:27

My daughter is due to land at Gatwick this morning and this thread is terrifying me!

Maerchentante · 18/02/2022 10:27
