Flight radar - storm Eowyn version

[liveforsummer]

As the title says - I am in the red zone and still some flights attempting and some managing to land. Just watched one diverted from Glasgow to MAN. One manage to land at Edinburgh whilst one right behind it looks to be diverted- another flight from Italy due to land in Edinburgh in 2 mins but can't yet find the plane. Wild that these are still scheduled and some still not cancelled throughout the highest forecast winds of the day. Must be very scary being on these planes! My house in Edinburgh already sounds like the roof is about to be lifted off!

Right right mate. Right right.

I’d have cycled from Manchester to Glasgow rather than get on the flight I’ll be honest

BCN-DUB diverted to Stansted which might be a problem for any Spaniards on the flight travelling with ID cards only.

Looks like the Glasgow and Faro flights will be able to wave to each other over the North Sea off Newcastle.

I think if he was heading for Newcastle he'd be a whole lot lower

I am so invested in this flight route now

In the morning Buzz from Krakow tried to land to Glasgow. It went to Manchester. Maybe this is the same plane going back to krakow?

There's a Dublin to Newcastle flight doing loop the loops over Spennymoor at the minute too. He's waiting to see what happens with Faro's 2nd go around.

He is gaining! He's headed off somewhere completely different!

Probably have been home quicker than these guys too

Ohhh good call. That must be it.

It indicates the height when both ascending and descending - seems to go purple at around 35000 feet then will drop to blue again when they go below

@Bjorkdidit might be due to positioning the aircraft for a future flight.

Sorry with the tardy reply, I’m having to dip in and out…

You’re pretty much correct, but the issue as the windspeeds really pick up is it can get really turbulent which complicates things.

On somebody else’s point:

The aviation world doesn’t use the Met office reds/ yellows, they have their own parallel system. If the airports want to stops ops due to Met office general weather warnings that’s for them to decide.

Edit to add: Rainbow, Tks, forgot to tag you..

I'm not sure as this current plane was scheduled to depart at 10am and the Glasgow plane was never meant to be there,

Yes but the Spaniards who were expecting a weekend break in Dublin and are able to fly within the EU with their national identity card but not be allowed to go through passport control at Stanstead won't care about that.

Ryan Air from faro made two attempts at NCL and is now looking to divert to Gatwick.

2nd Ryanair from Dublin is now looking to make an approach

MAN-GLA now heading to Krakow

There’s no general rule.

Yes the bigger types tend to be heavier but that alone doesn’t determine how well they “ride” turbulence.

How cross would you be!! At least 4 times further away than where you started

I was cross enough yesterday having my flight cancelled from LhR FOR NO REASON 🤣

I can't cope with the stress of this Dublin to Newcastle one. Circled for ages, two other flight landed there first time. And this attempt looked aborted at 3,000 feet. I think he's going to try again now.

And no passports!

Ryanair insists on passports as ID even on internal flights.

Fortunately for these passengers.

For info if that 3000 feet has come from flight radar then because the sea level pressure at Newcastle is down at 975 hPa (1320 UTC observation) that’s actually more like 2000 feet (amsl) or a little bit less….

Looks like they're going elsewhere - Manchester?
