So the local council have told the airport not to use the building and thomsonfly have said they are going ahead with the launch next week, going to be interesting...

Jon


Council planning officer, Gary Stephens, said: "The council is saying that the development they, the airport management, have undertaken for the passenger terminal facilities and associated works is of such scale that it is likely to have a significant effect on the environment.

"And in those circumstances, the development requires to be subject to a planning application and Environmental Impact Assessment.

"We, the council, have notified them, the airport management, that they need to make a planning application and asked that they stop work on the terminal and do not to use the terminal building.

"It is up to them whether they do so. They could carry on and start using the building next Wednesday.

"If they do, then they are subject to enforcement action."

Hi Dan, He did some approaches at Birmingham to certify the ILS kit for autolands, something they can't do at Coventry. Just about to depart for Cov, should be landing on 05.

Yep, saw the 757 land 05, took of at 13:20 for the 15 minute flight to Luton.

The runway at Cov is closed Thu, Fri and Sat 0900-1700.

Not sure how long he is staying, I'll keep you posted.

G-THOB is doing some local trips to Cowly/Wod Monday. TOM001P at 07:00, TOM007P at 10:20 and TOM007P at 12:00.

There is a B737-800 at Cov today as well 12:05/14:15. It's G-XLAH (brand new a/c)doing a charter to Kristianstad, Sweden.

I wasnt wrong then, when i said they'd need every last inch of the runway. Bloddy hell another 3 inches and it it would be on the interim stopway hardstanding overun facility(definitely not a starter extension)

Well that gives your hidden superhero identity away Jon! I wasn't quite sure, but that now explains why you know every little detail on the operation

Twostroke - if you're a pilot you should know that one of the three most useless things in aviation is "runway behind you"

Twostroke, I would be ever so grateful if you could remind us of your qualifications to comment on civil transport performance requirements.
