Storm Dave - Flightradar - especially Leeds Bradford.

[WhatIMean]

Anyone else watching?

Yes, safely back in Amsterdam after almost 3 hours in the air!

I reckon Tenerife is going to try approaching from the south., and I reckon they’ll do it.

Phew - Dublin have landed - albeit in Manchester

Gone to spare room in attic as can’t sleep and discovered this thread. Now kicking myself for leaving phone on bedside table as don’t have FR on my iPad. Lying here under flightpath for LBA and could be watching the drama of the skies above me play out on screen. ☹️

despite only a 20mins drive away I pick Manchester for any winter flights. I hate landing there.

Looks like it. Both Ryanair Dublin down in Manchester. All the other Man flights slotting into place behind.

Typos so deleted

Ooh I think you’re right

Yes. Same time as a flight from Dalaman into Leeds landed on first attempt. Except the Amsterdam one landed back where it took off. Alas.

Guess they’ll get a night in an airport hotel and try again tomorrow.

Girona is following the same circle as Tenerife.

On target to be at 1750ft as it crosses the ring road.

Oh no, it’s going back up again.

Ah brilliant, that's good to know. Well done Amsterdam pilot! Thanks.

The two flights trying to land at LBA are the most tracked worldwide right now!
Over 5000 people watching the Tenerife flight!

Tenerife is climbing again

Well, not really. It's not the best place for an airport, I'll give you that, and it is mostly windy ( not always a bad thing, you can land into wind) and it's not always foggy 😀

Wonder if Girona will try

Oooph. Failed attempt from Tenerife

Such a shame about the Tenerife one! I think they should divert all traffic from Leeds to Manchester or Newcastle now or return to base.

Is that mainly so we can all go to sleep?

How do you use flight radar?

Girona might be more willing to divert to Manchester as they've already handled some diversions from Leeds to Manchester. Jet2 I would guess would be more reluctant to do so. Home ground etc.

We're near Leeds and it's really windy

Mostly but seems according to the wind map it’s picking up again now in that area 😞😭

Tenerife heading to Manchester now.

I'm in Leeds and was woken up by the storm about half an hour ago. Its wild out there.

I've been on a few 'windy' landings at LBA, its not fun. But fortunately they've all got down first time and not had to go around or divert. Just seen that some of the flights supposed to land here got diverted to Stansted, what a pain. Then the Amsterdam flight went back there.
