This suggests approach visibility was acceptable but they may have been landing into low level mist or fog and couldn't see enough to complete the landing. Loganair is having another go, as I type! ETA he missed it again after getting down to 0 ft. Edited April 16, 2023 by Nellie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Good luck to anyone who needs to be in work tomorrow. No wonder the IOM is full of retirees. If you work you can't rely upon the public transport 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you work you can't rely upon the public transport Wouldn’t call flying public transport would you? Also many stuck in Liverpool /Manchester can get boat from Liverpool or Heysham if needed 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a worse category now than before, could have better features to allow landing in worse conditions than now etc etc. The conditions today do seem to be exceptionally bad, or unusual. Two aircraft (one easyJet and one Loganair) actually managed to land, twice, but because they couldn't see anything at ground level they had to abandon their landings and take-off again. I doubt that any improvements to the approach systems would have made any difference. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
