AFR184 CDG-HKG 14/10/12

Does anyone have any more info on reason why AFR is in a holding pattern just to the north east of Reims? 15000ft 340kts. F-GSPO

[DADDY-OH!]

Possible problem either on or just after take off. He may have been 'Holding' to run checklists, consult AF Ops/Maintrol & dump fuel.

It looks like they are returning back to CDG. Just to the north of Paris, descending.

Squawk: 7700, final approach @ CDG for 08L.

[DADDY-OH!]

Squawking 7700? Full emergency then.

[22 Degree Halo]

Landed CDG..

[Robssupra]

Yep 7700, just landed back at CDG.

Well that was some really exciting posting. Had me glued to my seat. Do we really need every 7700 squawk spotted on FR24 posted on PPRuNe?

[Tight Seat]

More interesting than your post Hotel Tango.

[Sobelena]

Or yours for that matter TS :hmm:

[Hotel Tango]

:hmm: Well, if you found the above posts interesting, Tight Seat, then all I can say is that you must lead a very sad life.

[DADDY-OH!]

Now you lot, play nicely!

Sadly, with the growth of ADS-B-driven flight tracking websites that anyone can access, we're going to have to get used to amateur ambulance-chasers (90% of all 7700 squawks, on average, being passenger medical emergencies).

<<Squawking 7700? Full emergency then.>>

As Dave suggested, NO!!

[Hotel Tango]

:ok: You're absolutely right EcamSurprise, I need to get out more. I just hope that one of these aircraft squawking A7700 doesn't fall on me. :eek:

[Tight Seat]

Sorry for taking so long to get back Hotel Tango, I was off jumping from the edge of space, breaking the sound barrier :} sad little life I lead ;)
