Heyy
Well for the ones who don’t know me, I’m Sam – I’m 14, for Kilmarnock. I’ve been into aviation all my days (which have been very short I must say ;]]. Enough of that jibber jabber, anyway.
I just took a quick trip down to the ole’ Prestwick to watch some of the RYR 737s as I was bored out my head!
Does anyone know the CEO for the EGPK.co.uk website Arrivals / Departures ? The RYR was due to take off at ’20 to 9′ but infact didn’t take off 10/5 to 9.
According to the PIK website, it departed on time. Flight now not shown on DEP list.
Anyway; just thought i’d let you know about my wee quickie down at PIK :confused: :dev2:

If you think PIK is boring, try Dublin. Atleast at PIK you may get theodd Antonov or something special 😎
Correct, if you forget the Qatar Amiri Flight 747, the odd An-26, Basler BT-67, Air Greenland and Air Transat!:D

Sam; I used to think PIK was boring, all thats on their ARR and DEP list is RyanAir all day, night etc. But then you have to think about all the cargo flights that go in there.
Infact, if my brain rewards me greatly, in 2003, Prestwick was the third largest growing airport, by an increase of 35%.

Check their website, 87% on time, 97% within one hour, what happened to the other 3%?:D
I don’t know, some people are never satisfied.:D

If an a/c departs (i.e airbourne) 10 minutes late, it has departed on time, as the departure time is based on pushback (Or in Ryanair’s case beacons on time). A 10 minute taxi is a very standard taxi.
Cheers for clearing that up mate.

I said I wasn’t concerned about it, I just had to laugh at their almost perfect time record being broken.

Flight Stats web site told me it arrived safely, in case you were concerned about its whereabouts. If you are going to worry about every ten minute late departure, you must be really bored!:D

How do you know it landed safely at Bournemouth? – I wasn’t at all worried about it, just saying it was a bit late on departure. :]]

You were bored and seeing RYR’s 737’s would stop you being bored?:D
Presumably you were concerned about FR7544 which departed at 20.50 and landed safely at Bournemouth.
