Thread: Heathrow High Winds SAT 14th

Doors to automatic. Thank you for that.

Probably Britania! Although I stand corrected (slightly). Gusts have picked up in the last hour. Doesn't seem to be that heavy though.

UAE15 EK0015 DXB-LGW A6-ECJ

Whats the point in showing an interest when you get shouted down by what can only be descibed as a xxxx. LAMYNA Thanks to to the over guys who stood up, The remark abour the reporting was with ATC giving Wind speeds/etc,etc With this thread i am sorry but i thought i posted it spotters corner.. And forgive me but i dont seem to remember mentioning anything about a "vortex" then again what would i know. I think i will take up...

Quote: I am sure the EK 15 at lunch time didn't divert(it was a777 not a 767)-it did go around, but pretty sure it went in on the second attempt! Hmm, I saw the a go around and a member of our crew told me it diverted after a second go around. I've no idea where he got that info from. And yes, it could easily have been a triple. Here's hoping for an easier day tomorrow. SW

Quote: No im not in aviation Yes, your previous ridiculous statement quoted by Vortex proves that. And your remark about ATC "reporting" (sic). Better to keep silent and let people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

Quote: Yes, your previous ridiculous statement quoted by Vortex proves that. And your remark about ATC "reporting" (sic). Better to keep silent and let people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt I imagine that the "reporting" remark is referring to the live wind reports that ATC provide to landing aircraft every few seconds during stormy conditions. Not too difficult to work...

Extract from EGLL TAF for tomorrow: TEMPO 1407/1411 23035G50KT 3000 +SHRA TSRA BKN014CB BECMG 1411/1414 26015G25KT BECMG 1416/1418 21007KT

I think HD means no runway switching (alternation) and all landings on 27L (ie south - upwind - of the hangars). Correct me if I'm wrong, please, HD

Wouldn't it be a good idea at times like this if there was another runway in a different direction. Wonder why nobody has thought of this before. Something like, say, 23, for example .........
