Totally agree. FAP for the ILS on runway 14 is 6.1 miles. Turning in at 7 miles I’d say is a well flown stable approach.

Incase any of you are interested, here are a couple of videos taken on a recent trip to Kraków EPKK. The departure is from Kraków Runway 25 and the arrival is a CAT3 Autoland onto Runway 32 and Leeds in 225m RVR. Departure: Arrival: Mods - Hope this is the right place to post these. Enjoy...

Good job that real radar is accurate then isn't it! ;)

Not so sure about that Aviador, a JS41 did a Cat 2 earlier this evening :)

Which direction is that Rhinos?

It was a touch and go. :-)

Bigman I'm 99% sure it was ZH001 which is a BN2T Defender based in Aldergrove.

Afraid not, it needed all the figures taking post flight check. Once TELS are happy with the readings the glide path requires a 24 hour burn in period before it is returned to service:-) Trust me, we can't wait for the GP back either!

We've had a wonderful morning:-) gotta love a good calibration!:-)

Getting the Vulcan to do that fly past was one of the highlights of my career. The BA Shuttle asked what the Vulcan was doing. When told a low approach and asked if he wanted to wait the response was "Hell Yeah!" Considering it was on its way back from its last display of 2014 made it even more...

They aren't additional temporary stands, they are the same extra parking slots we've been using for months. Look a bit odd but dies what it says on the tin:-)

It most certainly was for weather avoidance! It certainly can make things interesting when they get that Far East!

Without being there it's hard to say for definite but with all the weather around its probable that they had to weather avoid after the missed approach. Don't quote me on that though.

I have no idea about any route rumours but the aircraft departed Doncaster, did an ILS at Leeds before flying direct back to doncaster. I wouldn't look to much into it but I'm happy to be wrong about it:-)

It positioned back to Stansted

Not sure how many helicopters but they really don't cause that much of a problem. Mainly because they are so low. Unless they flew right through the immediate climb out or very short final they can usually just be given traffic information and left to route as they need to:-)

I'm rubbish at these app's! Luckily I can do the job in real life!:-p :good:

Army Air Corps Islander ZH003 came in last night as the AAC515 from Aldergrove on a compassionate flight. Departed about 50 mins later back to Aldergrove.

Re: Runways, Aprons and Taxiways. I really wouldn't be getting excited:-(

Glad to hear it A300. Having done that job myself I know how bitterly cold it can be. Although I do remember on one occasion being told not to sweep 12 inches on snow off an A319 and wash it off instead! 4800 litres on one aircraft. Think it paid for both de-icing rigs(Joke).
