New Flight Radar thread - it's windy tonight

A new thread for FR

@Hab788 I used to use Leeds Bradford a lot when I lived near there and had several hairy landings and a couple of diversions over the years.

Istanbul almost down. Then I might go to bed.

Tenerife HAS to be going to Amsterdam surely?!

I fully aware that flights will often drivert to another airport at which the airline has a hub, so with the staff etc. ready to deal with the onward journey.

Ryanair has just landed that diverted Leeds flight in Glasgow... why wouldn't their TFE-EDI flight try Glasgow. It's heading off over The Wash.

Bedtime now.

Someone will have to start a new thread soon

Looks like Tenerife-Edinburgh is also heading to Amsterdam? Not sure why when there have been two recent landings at Edinburgh and Glasgow

The fact is no matter what, all the planes get down somewhere. It might be inconvenient. But safety trumps everything.
Nights like this reaffirm my belief in pilots.

I'm waiting for that one too to go to bed! And it's jsut aborted again!

Looking likely..

37000 seems high for Amsterdam but where else would it be going?

Go around, again (sigh)

It's definitely an experience isn't it! X

Oh my god they can't go to Amsterdam surely?!

You never really see Glasgow and Edinburgh flights divert to the other one after an abort. I wonder if they’re just too close for getting up and down?

WizzAir is off again

Multiple go arounds at Gatwick

Istanbul and Zurich are both doing multiple trips around SE England...

I’ve been wondering all evening, if anyone knows the answer to this? Who actually makes the decisions about multiple attempts to land and diversions? Is there a discussion between the pilot and ATC about whether to try again or divert, and where to divert to, or is it solely the decision of one or the other?

It's been over my head about six times I think . They've got to go somewhere else now, surely.

Looks like Istanbul is off to the south Downs!

Yes I thought that, but surely there must be a way for them to do a lap around and reposition for the other one? Perhaps not, but I'm curious to know!

Will make a new thread in a mo :)

Lanzarote down at Gatwick
