Flightradar - some poor passengers really aren't landing at Madeira at the moment

[cakeorwine]

2 landing attempts and still not down.

I think it's windy there

@ChanelQuiltedBag here I am don't tread on me..

The Norwegian one has been descending. Will they try?

Another go - I do wonder if pilots rub their hands with glee or groan when they get their flight schedules!

Love these Flightradar threads, will stop the constant Cabin Pressure refs now 😁

I'm with the others that have struck Maderia from their holiday list. F that .

Ah that's not fair. The pilot has to take safety as a first priority. They know the limits. I suppose that's why we rarely hear of a plane crashing on to the runway in high winds! If it happens it is usually a technical fault or pilot error.

I've flown into and out of Paro. I'd heard about it being difficult but the weather was perfect and it was very smooth, although uncomfortably close to mountains on both sides. When we took off I could feel that we were rising steeply because I was pressed back into my seat, but when I looked out the window the ground was also rising steeply so my eyes were telling me we were flying low.

I thought the video might have had St Helena as one of the top 10 most dangerous. The airport was only fairly recently built and then they didn't use it for a few years because of the danger. I think it's too far away from anywhere to divert, so you pretty much have to land once you're there.

Looks like Lyon flight diverting to the Canaries.

Looks like Norwegian is giving it a go

The Gatwick and Zurich are too high and turning again.

Looks like the Copenhagen is descending to give it a go.

Bloody hell had to go sort out a DC and missed loads of action. Fingers crossed for that EasyJet flight.

Copenhagen has turned again!

I’m not getting anything done now

Poznan flight now over the Canaries.

Where is the plane from Lyon going?

Looks like it’s heading to the Canaries.

Looks like Poznań turning to land in Gran Canaria

Loving this! I wonder how many people are aware of the challenges of the airport when they book their week in the sunshine?!

@BasilParsley I was hoping they’d want receivers near CWL but it seems that they’re not looking for any anywhere near us!

Hate you guys....now i am watching it! Copenhagen turned around too

Zurich is diverting

Turns out Flightradar is the thing my teenager will talk to me about it!

my day is gone now watching this. Further out there are 3 planes heading to Funchal, then a French Government plane that doesn’t have a destination but seems to be on the same flight path

Like like the London flight is breaking away now. Just the Copenhagen one left?

Think the Gatwick is heading to the canaries too as it’s climbing and has moved more east.

There’s 2 more Funchals en route - Warsaw and Munich

Oh blimey. I was just about to book flights for Madeira in April!

I love flightradar. I live close to an airport under a frequent flight path and have become a bit obsessed.

If that landing had been any safer it would have killed us.

Copenhagen giving it a go again? Descending.
