The Q400 is able to operate to CAT 2 (300m RVR, DH 100ft) - but alas 05L is not authorized for CAT 2 ops. BLK, BHX and LBA have all seen flybe diversions.

What is the ILS on 05L. Is it only Cat 1? When it's replaced will it be full Cat 3 or remain as it is.

05L has published CAT I and CAT III minina. It doesn't however, have CAT II minima for CAT C aircraft. I think it's something to do with the RADALT going bonkers as you pass over the wee valley on very short final.

You need a lot more than 300 tons try 300,000 and I bet you would still be short

23R ILS? I remember the old days when the flight path went in front of the house.

Latest is 30/11. I've got quite used to the 229 path and the morning VS has stopped waking me up.

Traffic stats for October don't make any better reading than previous months. Terminal pax (i.e. excluding transits) now slipped below 19m for the rolling 12 month period.

24R ILS update

From the MAG World website - dated 9th November 2009


"The replacement of the ILS on Runway 23R has taken somewhat longer than planned due to technical difficulties with some of the existing ground communications infrastructure. This delayed the submission of the final safety cases for consideration by the CAA. All ground works are now complete awaiting approvals, which we are expecting to be forthcoming this week."

EZY has released its Manchester schedules for the summer which show four aircraft on station. Alicante, Athens, Dalaman, Heraklion, Malaga, Malta and Tenerife all see additional services. Schedule gives 62 departures a week (compared to 54 in June '10) of which 7 are operated by a LPL-based aircraft on a 'W' pattern.

Bastia operates weekly on a Sunday. There are (by my reckoning) 7 gaps in the schedule (3 morning and 4 evening) so one would assume a couple of routes are still to be announced.
