dreamon Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Perhaps it’s time for passengers booked on delayed and/or cancelled flights, caused by the inability of those running the Airport to resolve the 03/21 ‘issue’, to claim compensation from the IOM Gov! Why should both Loganair & Easyjet have to pay up when the problem lies squarely with the managers concerned at the Airport? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand these comments around security. Whenever I go through it’s fine indeed I went through it yesterday and had absolutely no problem at all they all seemed very nice and friendly as well . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The 03/21 issue isn't a silver bullet. Not sure Loganair even allow their crews to land on 21 due to the terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time around for this stuff happening (in Reynold's time) when the test strip for the person next to me was put in the machine a red light came on - so I thought I would hang around for when the bomb squad arrived. But all that happened was that the security person waved to a supervisor type who walked over and, without pause, pressed the reset button and walked away.

The machines are programmed to give a certain number of false positives, this could have been what happened. I was going through international transit at Manchester (I think) and the scanner bleeped at me even though I had no metal at all. Spoke with the guy in change and he explained that there are false positives so that the staff don't start to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is understandable for metal detectors, but after you have bleeped someone runs their hands over your body checking for .... things. Checking for a false positive on explosive residue is more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 RW 03 is most unlikely to be used for departures for three main reasons :- The runway has a considerable uphill gradient The ground continues to rise quite steeply beyond the runway end Gale force NNE winds are uncommon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
