Andrew,
If you click on the aircraft icon you will get a more detailed data box, in lower corner of that data box is a little aircraft icon, click on that and it will display the complete track of that aircraft. Reset the time on Webtrack to 7:22 PM( or so) then do that, you will see it was quite clearly a missed approach. Cheers |
Was quite dramatic - saw her on finals about 3-4 miles out and WAAAYYY too high...she tried hard to hit the glideslope but with that headwind we all agreed there was no way she would make it and she was going to go around. :eek:
Next thing you know, four trails of smoke and the nose came up and around she went. http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...dapproach1.jpg http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...dapproach2.jpg http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...dapproach3.jpg |
Chris, the "Static Track" shows it all, they got down to 129m just short of the 34L threshold before they executed the missed approach.

Grahame.
Yes, I just replayed a couple of approaches and he was about 100m high crossing the beach at Kurnell and at the point he called it quits at 129m QF32 a few minutes later was at about 85m. Cheeers Chris |
is A6-EHF an A340-600?

My son, 5, loves the "gold plane" as he calls it. Great to see two flights a day now, and another A346 other than the Virgin Atlantic flight. Not a huge fan of the Virgin scheme.

Speaking of which - have you got a high res of the moon one i can use as my desktop andrew - i dont mind if its watermarked.
|
that was on the same day as the EBW departure.
I was amazed by how smokey the engines were when they went around. |
an A340-600 is the last aircraft i'd expect to leave a smoke trail
747-400 or even a 777 yes, but not a brand new A340 |

it was high when i took that shot but you're really look at where the puff of smoke was, so it was a bit lower, nevertheless it was a bit high. The go-around climb was amazing.. went up and away in no time!
