hi guys, first time poster long time reader. i live in stockport on the flightpath to manchester uk (man) and have noticed that a lot of aircraft are flying a different approach than usual just lately (ie about a mile farther to the right) just wondered if anyone knows why. thanks in advance. ph. p.s. runway is 23r.

EGCC ILS is tits up at the mo. VOR/DME app hence the subtly different tracking. Wont last long.

ah! thanks for that sfcc. :ok:

You can't be that much of a long time reader!:rolleyes:

aircraft ops. yeah im a long time reader like i said. i have an interest in aircraft and like to read some of the comments news and views on this site. but am in no way an expert on the matter , which is why i asked the question, sorry if its been asked before or its in the wrong forum but i aint got time to read them all.:rolleyes:

@<hidden> purplehelmet. I'm guessing that AircraftOperations is looking at you being a probationary member with only 3 posts, could be that he doesnt realise that you can be a viewer/reader without being a member.

@<hidden> AircraftOperations. Nothing personal, just advising 'ph'

thanks jsp. :ok:

No, I meant that I must have seen 6 or so different posts containing this question in the last few weeks.

Search is your friend, as the Moderators regularly tell us.
