New Flight Radar thread - it's windy tonight

[cakeorwine]

A new thread for FR

I need to be up for the commute to work at 5am but to be honest I'm not sure that will be a go tomorrow anyway so I might as well stay up til Istanbul lands (somewhere..)

I tell a lie, Lanzarote a go around

Can't believe I've been FRing alone with a partner saying "I'm not interested, stop showing me" for hours without knowing this thread was here.

WUK828 (Istanbul - Gatwick) is beginning to worry me...

No, I was right the first time 😂

The Lanzarote flight landed ok at Gatwick so not sure why Istanbul and Zurich couldn’t

Several have landed at Gatwick, Istanbul and Zurich have both tried twice...

That Tenerife one isn’t on arrivals list for Amsterdam.

Where to divert to will be decided by the airline ops control centre, based on various data points, first and foremost what range the aircraft has left. Thereafter it will depend on where they have crew, ground crew, want an aircraft to end up, haven't already overloaded with other diversions and so on.

In addition to ATC, these guys will also be hard at work this evening.

Airline dependent but some have a rule of two goes, then divert (unless after attempt two the weather suddenly obviously improves).

Where to go is usually down to the piot in command, but it's nice if you have warning and there's time to run it past the company via some means of comms because they might have preferences..but at the end of the day it's usually the captain/crew get the final say.

Am now thinking as still at 37000 ft, heading to Germany

Is it going to Heathrow?

Edinburgh airport is showing it as On Approach!

Lanzarote ok but Munich going round again. Algiers having a go next.

I think this is where British Airways and similar airlines come good - their pilots are more experienced and I'd definitely rather be on a BA flight than a WizzAir flight tonight.

Which list?

Alicante to Lees has landed in Glasgow

Malaga-Edinburgh just landed on time 😮so no idea why the poor folk from tenerife have headed off to Amsterdam

Yes, I wonder if they will go to stansted like the other Wizz air that tried twice at Gatwick.

The Munich flight at Gatwick is also going around again is Istanbul heading towards Heathrow?

Is wizz heading to Heathrow?!

Antalya - LTN just missed again

Looks like the Tenerife flight could be headed for Cologne.

@notimagain When I select the airport I can select arrivals, departures lists. It might be gold on the subscription as I signed up for the free 14 days subscription 😁

I think it’s too high for Amsterdam

Reykavik has landed in Edinburgh

The earlier flights were unlucky - half an hour later and they'd have been OK (but bumpy)
