Are there any fellow Flightradar geeks on here? There is a red tui plane over Manchester right now squaking. Any idea why?

@littlepeas

We had the back tyres touch down and we then took straight off because there was a plane crossing the runway at Gatwick a long time ago. Pilot got a round of applause after he came on the tannoy a couple of mins later and joked about what had happened

One engine wasn't working

I am not going to be watching DS' plane coming back later this week, that is for sure. Thankful that all is well with this flight

Phew, that's a relief.

ApplesandBunions · 27/06/2022 13:24

Thank fuck for that

AnyFucker · 27/06/2022 13:25

The flight path is pretty long over Manchester though…

DH and 2 of my DC's work at the airport I'll message them to ask what's going on.

Anybody else feel a bit choked up ? Sighs of relief all round when it lands.

Yeah, I am.

I often check FR for up to date arrivals for a friend who is a taxi driver as it often determines where she parks up to wait. So quite used to flights circling etc but this...

BigRedDuck · 27/06/2022 13:32

Blimey.im not a brilliant flyer so I definitely won't be looking at FR any time soon!

Flight radar just isn't very accurate at low level, so them overshooting the runway appears quite a lot

handslikecowstits · 27/06/2022 13:36

For those of who are interested: when a plane looks as if it has overshot the runway, usually it hasn't. It's to do with the transponder not being 100% accurate on aeroplanes.

Ffs dp asked me to drop some tools off where he is working and I missed the landing. My heart stopped when I got back and saw it seemingly in a field

Bloody hell. I've had some scary flights but that one would have been unnerving.
