Shameless LBA spotting question...!
Guys, can anybody let me know what determines in which direction a/c depart or arrive at Leeds? My guess is wind direction or local noise issues at night...
The only reason I ask is that a friend landed at LBA from AMS on Saturday afternoon and I was keen to see his Fokker 70 come in. I positioned myself close to the runway underpass expecting it to touch down from an Ilkley / Otley direction. But it didn't, it approached over Leeds - Cookridge, Horsforth etc !!
As a Mancunian, I aint local, so I accept that I got it all wrong!!
Thanks all...

Anyone know ho much it costs to hire a de-icer truck?
Our driveway at work is like a bloody cresta run today and we could do with nicking a de-icer truck from LBA for an hour or two.

expeditious approach!
TeddyR, any self-respecting pilot would come along the blueway from AMS and make a small right turn off it, upon intercepting the ILS for runway 32 at LBA. Even if the wind favoured 14, accepting a tailwind and landing on 32 would result in arrival on chox 10 mins earlier, thus saving the co money, pleasing the pax and giving more time in the bar. A win-win situation.
