Ronaldsway Sun 10th June

[marquis]

More or less back to normal:

CS-DXK Cessna 560XLS in & out as "NJE 3ZP"
G-RVNI Vans RV-6A to Area M
Cessna 525A D-IMHA to PJC
G-AZWS PA28R-180 to Area W
Flybe ERJ-175 G-FBJH on this afternoon's Birmingham

A400M Atlas ZM416 complete with "RAF100" titles, calling as "Grizzly" made an approach and overshoot then into the hold for an NDB approach with a low pass at 300ft "to get familiarised for the pass at RAF Cosford".


Elsewhere EC135 G-GLAA has been at the Chicken Rock lighthouse as "Osprey 70".

Just two from my museum stint this morning;

Sadly I was not able to get down for the Atlas 'special' this afternoon. It was the same one as seen in the Queen's Birthday Parade in London yesterday.

Operating EDI-IOM-NWI this evening was Loganair SAAB 2000 G-LGNT, I presume this to be it's first visit.

After TT, not a boring day at all, as viewed from the back garden, I caught the A400 too.

Some flight perturbations though, as the afternoon progressed. Loganair Dornier 328 G-CCGS arrived from Norwich on schedule but instead of directly returning, did an EDI rotation on LM612. Could well explain G-LGNT's arrival at 6pm from EDI

Marquis (well done and thanks for the TT lists!) already noted Flybe ERJ-175 G-FBJH came in from BHX; it then did a LPL rotation and was due to leave for MAN but something happened and, as far as I can tell, she is still at EGNS. This has had usual knock-on effects for MAN and now BHX this evening - otherwise, been a pretty smooth TT for PAX, thanks to ace weather.

D-IMHA was a fast turnaround, heading back at 2pm to Malaga (lucky people!) after a brief stop on way here at SOU, presumably to re-fuel.

Quick update on Flybe ERJ-175 G-FBJH, just left for MAN on much delayed BE814.
Presumably returning and then on back home to BHX, long day for the crew  (and some PAX!)

BE820 to Manchester sked 18:45 now cancelled

[lodger]

EI-FAW positioned in from Dublin on 08 at 9pm, presumably to cover for EI-REM tomorrow I thought, but is now returning to DUB as STK302P using R26, go figure?!
Previously OE-IVJ op EZY855 from LGW followed in (on 08) after having held for 10 minutes (not WX related), followed by LCY flight of G-CEIC

[jijpc]

As it was only on the ground for 15 mins, I suspect EI-FAW was delivering parts in order that EI-REM will be able to operate tomorrow, assuming the issue was technical.

I also noted that as a result of the various charters to Manchester yesterday they have swapped Saab's with G-CIEC operating the LCY routes. G-CDKA flees one of their charters to Manchester yesterday afternoon before positioning to Leeds, and then today going to Humberside, presumably for maintenance.

G-FBJH was requiring the Air Start Unit on all afternoon turnarounds and so at a guess the delayed Manchester flight was a result of an APU failure?
