Hey all
Probably of no interest to anyone at all, but had to point out the coincidence… Writing up my dissertation on flybe. in my university computer room, and just seen a flybe. Q400 pull up and go around after being on finals to EXT. Funny how things happen like that!

Back in the days when we operated Saab 340s, subject to ATC restrictions, the crews could fly the approach at around 250 kts to 5 miles, before slowing down.
Quite amazing to watch from the jumpseat, into places like BSL, GLA, EMA, EDI and ABZ.

130 would have been his landing speed, and at BA he would have to have that speed by 500ft AGL!

Thats way to fast he should have been slowing alot then 160 mayve a bit faster.They taxi very very fast here sometimes too fast to take a pic.

There are rules to say what they can and can’t do, but I’ve heard them being told off plenty of times at STN. Generally for taxiing too fast and creating ramp problems when they arrive too quick. Last time I was up the control tower at STN a RYR732 was 240kts at 6 miles out, not sure what this should be but it sounds a bit too fast for me? I know the speed limitation below 10,000ft is 250kts, but for an approach it still seemed too fast?

Are they allowed to just fly as fast as they want like that?
I know there was lots of stuff a few years ago about FR pilots flying/taxiing and just generally doing everything too fast as they were under pressure to be on time.
The FR 732’s always come in really fast to BRS and let the gear down right at the last minute.

You have no idea how close this was>ive seen plenty of go arounds and this was definitley the closet ever.The Ryanair on the gorund had built up a good bit of speed and the other was very close to the threashold.I reckon is could have been something to do with the fact that in Dublin Ryanair pilots fly the approach very fast only slowing very close to landing which could have given a false indication to the controller how long the landing Ryanair would take.

I meant have a look at it after the examiners have finished with it. Don’t want you getting in trouble!

No im sure there was nothing dangerous. Prob some GA on the runway or summat. Or the beast of Bodmin Moor

There will have been nothing dangerous about it.

I saw this happen in Dublin on sunday a Ryanair 732 was on take off roll with another Ryanair 732 on short final.The 1st one was told to stop and the other went around.Dangerous but a great sight none the less.

I have no idea!!! Personally I don’t mind but Ill have to check up with my interviewees I suppose. I’ll keep you inflamed, thanks for showing an interest!

When your dissertation is finished is there any chance we could have a look or is it private?
