Part of the task will be to check the effect the A380 has on the ILS - in particular the localiser interaction with the huge fin - so expect it to be tugged around the airfield to various positions - CAT 1,2,3 and taxiways whilst FPL do their calibration checks.

Just completed a similar task at Leige and Schipol with a 747.

The A380 fin is quite a bit larger than on 747's, although being composite may mean it has less of a reflective effect on the localiser unless it happens to be raining!

As always we appreciate your patience whilst the FPL BE20 positions for the runs. The sooner it's over the sooner the system will return to normal.
