Oh no, that’s at 1618Z, nearly 2 hours ago. I think :confused:

You were correct first time – 18 hour TAF, valid 0000-1800 on 3 July (030018) , ISSUED at 1618Z on the 2 July (021618Z).

24L/06R is closed between 12:00 and 15:00 due to envorimental factors with the local residents i.e for the retrired councillors of Style and Mobberley to have an afternoon nap from those RYR 732’s:D

Wind from the South-West then (210), is that an 18 hour TAF?

I understand, but anyone not from Manchester listening to inbound and outbound traffic on their scanner wouldn’t hear “Runway 2” mentioned an awful lot, would they?

“Runway 2”????

Surely you are referring to 24L/06R, laddie!!!!! 😉

At the moment (18:15 local) , 24R is in use for landing and 24L for take-offs.

Due to busy times I guess?!

EDIT: Or it could be to do with noise restrictions over them houses at certain times :confused:

Both of them are in use, but runway 2 starts at 15:00 or 15:30

Why?
