Re: Storm Ciara 09/02/2020

Re: Storm Ciara 09/02/2020

Very strange: EBBR/BRU had seen 19 in use for both landings and take-offs, only to be expected with the strong southerly wind. Now, around 20:05 UTC, operations seem back to the "standard" 25R for dep., 25L for arrival. OO-SSI aborted a 19 approach to turn aside then land on 25L. too much...

Re: Storm Ciara 09/02/2020

One go-around after the other at Heathrow... incredible. Latam 8084 just missed his apprach for the 2nd time, and is now followed by QFA10 who is coming back after what appears to be a tail strike on take-off 20 minutes ago.

I don't think the lenght of the runway is a problem. We shall see what VLM is deciding about a possible new aircraft. This aircraft is only coming when some routes are to big to serve with the current F50. problem with LCY is not (only) runway length, but rather the steep approach angle ( 5%, where...

Re: Helicopter formation flight

Yesterday, June 16th, I spotted a formation of (at least) 5 helicopters flying over Brugge. Unfortunately, I could not see any registration or even any colour scheme, as I was driving at the time and could barely see them. Does anybody know what that was all about? Maybe it has something to do with...

I live in the final approach path for runway 20 (app. 10 miles out), and I pray consistently for consistent winds from 170 at 18 knots. Cause I love planes. So I'm not from an action committee, I hate action committees, I'm just a curious aviation enthousiast who likes to know how runways are assign...

Wind leading to RWY change was between 090-110 ° up to 15 kts. That's 5kts tailwind for RWY 20 if you ask me... Alternative for 25L/R-20 (according to dispersion plan) was 02/07. Other thing: temp was all day above 25° C (Stephenson screen) so if you'd like to calculate density altitude... (QNH 100...

Even if you would get a permission to use a scanner, it will still be forbidden to tune your scanner on ATC frequenties because of the "law on protection of privacy" which says that it is forbidden to listen to conversations that are not meant for you (like telephone tapping).
