philbky...It is not unusual for aircraft flying into shannon to 'land long' on runway 24 when the wind is gusting from the west or north west. The Shannon aerospace hangar creates turbulence at the touchdown zone and landing further down the runway may, given that the runway is 3k metres, make for a smoother and safer landing.
