Fog in Canberra this morning, and two Sydney Canberra flights orbited for a while then returned to Sydney.

Similar story for TMW by the looks... QF2001, QF2012 & QF2009 all delayed over 3 hours, QF2002 & QF2003 by 2 hours.

WTB (Wellcamp) the same... QF2016/17 delayed a bit over 2 hours.

Evening all,

Emirates A380 A6-EOH (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A6EOH) is operating 'EK414' tonight. It should depart tomorrow morning as 'EK415'. This will be its 1st visit to Sydney.

[Nigel C]

It's carrying England 2015 Rugby World Cup decals too Stefan.

[Ian Gains]

B-KQX 777-300ER Cathay Pacific is operating CPA139/8 today, due in around 20.15. She carries "Our 50th 777-300ER" titles, & I believe that this is her 1st visit to Sydney.

[Grahame Hutchison]

EK413 just had a problem at the Alpha 6 Holding Point, with HAL452 stuck right behind them. I think they said a locked brake, and ATC advised they would have to taxi back to the Runway 25 intersection if they wanted to clear taxiway Alpha (not allowed to turn into Lima). Hawaiian 452 advised ATC that they would have to shut down one engine if the delay continued. Eventually all resolved and both aircraft departed normally.

[David O.]

If people are interested, it starts around 24:30 on this link

Appears Emirates said "Hot Brake"

[Grahame Hutchison]

12:55L Jetstar A321 VH-VWW performed a Go Around after a reactive Wind Shear Undershoot warning at 500ft on approach to RW25 with wind at the time 250 at 25kts.

VH-TQX made a rare visit to WGA, normally operated by the Q300/400s.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Back to Parallel Ops after a good run on RW25

The ATC guys really kept things moving, with minimal time between departure lift off and arrival over the threshold.

Did it land in Sydney ?

[Nigel C]

I haven't seen it, but then I haven't been looking out for it either. Will confirm later.

[Robert.M]

I'd say it landed in Melbourne going by the altitude and end time (last received transmission).

Looking at the FlightRadar24 (thanks to MLAT) play back, it did head to Melbourne.

There was a bird strike on Runway 16R this afternoon, at the Alpha 3 intersection. Car-3 retrieved the carcase, a small swallow, then did a full runway inspection when there was a gap in the traffic. ATC thought that there may have been other FOD on the Runway. Nothing sighted by Car-3.

[David O.]

Do you know what aircraft it was, Grahame?

[Grahame Hutchison]

On the LiveATC archive for Sydney Tower at 15:41sec the Controller mentions a possible bird strike - VH-VNP operating TT259 was the last aircraft to depart on Runway 16R. There are then conversations with CAR-3 at the end of this archive and into the next archive.

LiveATC Archive (http://archive-server.liveatc.net/yssy/YSSY-Twr-May-18-2015-0600Z.mp3)

Mathematically:- Bird Strike + Small Swallow = Surface Area

[Ian Gains]

N811AM Hawker 800 did indeed come to MEL.

[Mark T]

B-8258 - G550 currently en route to Sydney from Melbourne. Due approx 14.45

17:03L Looks to be a problem with REX133, have not picked up on the nature of the problem, however they have passed on Pax On Board (22) to ATC and are running through the checklists before making an approach where they will stop on the runway. ATC also mentioned problems with the aircraft's Mode C transmissions.

17:05L ATC have started to give REX133 vectors for an approach.

17:09L The REX crew are doing a manual gear extension, so undercarriage problems.

17:11L Now on an 8 mile final for Runway 07.

17:13L ATC advised REX133 to run through to east of Charlie if the landing gear is ok, and they will then stop on the runway.

17:17 Tender-4 is now at the Runway 07 / Charlie intersections, and Tender-2 has been cleared to cross Runway 34L. ATC asked REX133 to change frequency to 130.0 to talk with the fire tenders. Assuming a safe landing, and now just assessing the situation with the undercarriage.

17:22L Tender-3 is now sitting at the Delta intersection on Runway 07.

17:25L Tender-3 and Tender-4 are proceeding to QF Domestic on Charlie, returning to the Fire Station.

17:27L Ground crews are going to tow REX133 along the runway to G4 and Bay 94.

17:32L Looks like REX133 was being operated by VH-RXX Moruya-Sydney.

17:37 Car-2 and Car-3 are inspecting Runway 07 and have checked the full length.

Does anyone know if the passengers left the aircraft on the runway, or after it was towed to Bay 94 ?


Sources: ATC from LiveATC (http://archive-server.liveatc.net/yssy/YSSY-Twr-App-May-20-2015-0700Z.mp3) and Ground Vehicle details from 16Right ADS-B Map (http://adsb.16right.com/live/map/) zoomed to Airport Level.

[Robert.M]

I say that it was meant to land at Moruya (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/VHRXX/history/20150520/0550Z/YMER/YMRY) but the issue arose.

RAN Sea King N24-008 was in Wagga today, landing at The Riverina Anglican College (TRAC).

B-8195 GLEX is on route to SYD from KNX (Kununurra).

[Robert.M]

Looks like RXX is scheduled to fly SYD, NRA to GFF.

[Robert.M]

VH-EKX is now fitted with ADSB.

CC-BBB 787-8 LAN is operating LAN801 today, so will make her 1st visit to Sydney tomorrow morning.

There was a post on Melbourne Airport spotters facebook page that a French Navy FA20 was heading down there. Didn't mention times though
