Now working London on 127.1. Reporting a possible landing gear problem, priority routing to LGW. Following traffic being advised he may have trouble vacating the r/w. Reply to this message | Report message

Just going over LHR where a phenomenon reported on PPRUNE is evident. Landing r/w is 09L but there's an A380 using 09R. Apparently avoids wake separation problems with other a/c following it on usual landing runway. Last edited by: Bromptonaut on Sun 12 Oct 14 at 19:07 Reply to this message | Report message

Whatever the problem was it affected the machine's automatics and they were flying it manually. At one point, given a routing 'direct Midhurst' from a little way SE of here, they asked to be given a heading to fly instead. Seemed that would make things easier for them, possibly outside the range within which Midhurst VOR, as opposed to a computer representation of its position, was useable? (maybe a question for FF - I've been fascinated by the 'how do they do that' bit of aviation since my teens) Last edited by: Bromptonaut on Sun 12 Oct 14 at 21:52 Reply to this message | Report message

IIRC www.flightradar24.com/ can be set to alert user if an aircraft is using the emergency transponder code 7700. Reply to this message | Report message

Same here Sherley....didn't see it at all once it had passed over Stockport. Hope they got down all right. There were other flights coming in after it on runway 1. Reply to this message | Report message

I assume it got down ok, I am stuck in Heald Green all afternoon and was staggered at how this PIA twin jet was flying over Finney Lane. Must have been 300 feet at the most. Probably an A330 or 777, I can't tell the difference. Reply to this message | Report message

New Thu 23 Oct 14 09:42   BE1338 - Bromptonaut

It would be a 777. PIA used to fly A310s to Leeds but that service ended in early summer. My first thought was that 300' might be an illusion based on the 777's size shape. When Birmingham's landing towards north west inbounds from south and east come over here around 8000'. The Emirates 777 looks much lower than usual A32x/737 types but in fact is just mahoosive. Heald Green though is only around a mile from Ringway's runway so 300' would probably be about right for a correct and stable approach. Reply to this message | Report message
