Evening PPRUNE,
tonight at about 21:00 i witnessed a Pakistan 747-300 depart on a DESIG1R, it exercised the usual path (turn right at D3 MCT(345), turn right at XUMAT (083) to DESIG)....
the next departure was a Air Berlin 737-800 which seemed to take the same routing, but this time it continued way past XUMAT(345), thus leaving the turn to DESIG much later than usual...
so why was this?, i can only think of wake turbulence from the PIA 743?
hope MAN control can help
cheers
