The Grisly flew over the day before on a similar route .
That groundspeed of 121 knots would suggest a westerly wind component of around 40 kts (plus any gusts).Landing in Glasgow in a strong westerly gale is never fun. This KLM plane from Amsterdam is struggling this morning, going around for a 3rd attempt.
Edit to add... 3rd attempt successful .
Blimey. That's inconvenient. Are they overfuelling as they know just how stormy it is ?At least 5 abandoned attempts to land followed by diversion.
The Edinburgh to Heathrow flight has gone back to Edinburgh, ditto Lufthansa from Munich back to there, TAP Portugal has gone to Paris, the Chicago arrival to Geneva ...
Yeah you'll always have some holding plus enough for a diversion. Cautious Captains will ask for extra on a day like this, as they say "better in the aircraft than in the bowser".Blimey. That's inconvenient. Are they overfuelling as they know just how stormy it is ?
