"The AAIB has sent a team to investigate an event at Stansted Airport involving a Gulfstream G550"

...and the ILS antenna :uhoh:

OOps a bit low then :sad:

....or perhaps on GP but L/R of centreline? :)

Better get down to Maplin or 40% chance of more trouble tomorrow.

ILS damaged at Stansted
 

I only caught the end of the report on BBC local news but it looks like the ILS at Stansted Airport has been damaged by a landing aircraft causing delays. Has anyone got any further information?

Here you go Doors,not their week is it


BBC News - Stansted Airport flight-delay after landing system damaged

Will tomorrow mornings inbound flights be diverted again?

No, full ILS CATIIIB has been restored to both runway 22 and 04 as of 1930 10th Dec, so providing another aircraft doesn't hit it again, all should be well for the morning :D

Presumably it was the 22 LOC Antenna that was damaged? i.e. At the 04 t/hold?

If, I stress IF, it was the gear that hit it (what else would it be) they have been SO LUCKY! (and SO LOW :eek::eek:) Does anyone have any facts as to what was hit and when? It was very foggy at STN this morning (met vis 50m on the ATIS).

A4

Tranceaddict.

Wow thats fast took BHX 3 weeks to rebuild up to Cat 111 after its mast was damaged in a fatal plane crash in recent years.

Must have been a lot of circuits today by the calibration plane to get it back up to certification ?

Phew that's a relief!!

If it hit either the localiser or the glidepath I'd be amazed if they could get it back in service in the same week let alone the same day. My money would be on one or more of the monitor aerials.

A few aircraft are in the stack at the moment!!

Pegasus 519 has given up and heading to MAN.
