Flightradar 24 storm watchers #2

[liveforsummer]

As the other thread is filling up and things are just starting to get real. Here's the next instalment.

Where is FR5042 going? Edinburgh?

Malaga to east mods got half way to Scotland and has now come back

Also pristine to London Luton is now heading back across the channel. Interesting

In in West Yorkshire and the wind has really picked up now so will be keeping an eye on Leeds Airport.

Losing height quite quickly? Maybe determined that this is the final attempt...

@DirtyDancing I can't figure out where it's going

@DirtyDancing

I can see the Knock flight I would be getting really worry about fuel! Lol

Why can some land first time and others are really struggling. Maybe a silly question, is it a mixture of experience/ training and luck on the weather?

Day like today with a gusty wind it’s mainly down to luck..

If the wind has dropped at the critical moment(s) just before touch down you’ll probably be OK, if OTOH you catch a gust that puts you outside the aircraft limits and/or maybe makes things unstable for a few seconds then you’ll end up with a go-around

Still facing the wrong direction currently

@OliviaBond I really think it's give up landing here! Poor people on board

Watching the Malaga one! It’s been everywhere!

Come on Malaga. It's literally got lines everywhere on the map!

Are BA pilots more highly trained ? Big jet live is a total marketing gift to them

@OliviaBond

Where is the SUF Lamezia Terme flight to stansted going? It's now heading off up the east coast

Fr4967 looks like it's headed towards Scandinavia. though I suppose it could swing back in to Newcastle or one of the Scottish airports.

It landed!

Malaga touch down. We need an interview with the passengers and pilot now

Bet those Malaga -EMA passengers are so happy to be on the ground!

@liveforsummer

Edinburgh Aberdeen is back on the tarmac in Edinburgh too

Aberdeen has snow not wind

Malaga to ema is down, another Malaga flight to stansted passed over heading north while I was watching that. God knows where that's going but flights from Malaga drawing short straws today

Aberdeen has snow not wind

I know we were supposed to have snow too but it hasn't materialised. ABZ usually able to cope with a bit of snow though so must be heavy there

Krakow-LBA looks determined!

Malaga - STN nearly at Manchester and still at 30,000 ft

I've just spotted that Malaga one. It's passed Manchester so must be going to Glasgow or somewhere now. That's after it circled round STN several times a while ago.

I'm guessing they didn't switch runways at 3pm then!

Hi folks, have been following this all day. Would love to know where FR4967 (the Lamezia Terme flight) is going! Presumably out to sea and then double backing on itself? ETA for it is now 15.52. Poor passengers.

Why would it go so far out and not circle?
