2 landing attempts and still not down.

I think it's windy there

The Gatwick and Zurich are too high and turning again.

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

One factor in all this is that in a jet if you hold at low altitude you burn fuel like it's going out of fashion..

If there's no prospect of an immediate approach you'll get more time in the hold holding at medium or even high level...

Wow, Copenhagen trying again

Looks like Gatwick flight off to the Canaries too.
This has put me right off a holiday to Madeira.

Wow, that’s off the bucket list of places to visit then.

Copenhagen going for broke. I hope that pilot is an expert on this airport

titchy · 13/01/2024 11:50

I wonder if the Copenhagen pilot will have told the passengers that no one has yet managed to land but that he's going for it?!

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 13/01/2024 11:50

Folllowing as Iove a bit of plane geekery and I'm heading to Madeira soon!

ScoobyDoesnt · 13/01/2024 11:50

The easyJet got to 1700 ft before aborting…..the Copenhagen is a Max 8, that enough would frighten me!

Moaning5 · 13/01/2024 11:51

So annoyed that I’ve missed all this drama - I love FR !

If any of you are board game players, you might like a newish board game called Sky Team. Two players have to work together (but with limited talking) to successfully land your plane. You have to manage speed, flaps, landing gear, brakes, whether you're horizontal, and other traffic. Its based around real airports so you start with Montreal and work up towards Paro as the hardest. And the harder airports are "scenarios" where you start having to add in wind, banking, fuel management, extra traffic, training an intern...

Squeaky bum time!

ScoobyDoesnt · 13/01/2024 11:52

Copenhagen must be committed to land now!

SandyWaves · 13/01/2024 11:53

I don't understand if Copen has landed/is landing

ScoobyDoesnt · 13/01/2024 11:54

Yay! He’s down!

soupmaker · 13/01/2024 11:54

Loud cheering for the Norwegian Air pilot and crew.

EwwSprouts · 13/01/2024 11:54

Whoop! tense

Scaleyflagpole · 13/01/2024 11:54

My heart was in my mouth there!!!

Iwanthatone · 13/01/2024 11:54

Norweigan is down- Well done that man/woman 👏

Muchtoomuchtodo · 13/01/2024 11:54

Hooray for the Copenhagen flight 🎉

Walkingtheplank · 13/01/2024 11:54

Well done that pilot!

saraclara · 13/01/2024 11:54

I bet there was a lot of applause on the cabin on landing

DCINightingale · 13/01/2024 11:54

@whatausername oh my goodness I never worked out how to get most tracked on the app, you've just transformed my experience - thank you!!

Is there any reason you are watching a flight tracker in Madeira 🤔

Is there any reason that’s a problem?
