Pluna Tracking
 

Hi. Not sure where this goes exactly, so I'll leave it to the mods.

I am trying to track a Pluna flight. I found flightstats website, since that is what montevideo airport directs you to (just as madrid does). I tried following the MAD/MVD flight, (following = making sure it got off and landed alright), and only see it took off 20 mins late. Well, I don't know if it's landed, I'm sure it has, at Carrasco, and now I'm trying to find the flight from MVD to Buenos Aires, Pluna 153, and it says no info avail, just like the other did.

What is it with Pluna? Is anyone in the region able to confirm the Pluna 803 arrived ok from Madrid at 835 this morning (08 Jan 08), and that 153 is all ok for a departure about 1115 local time.

Thanks in advance

Dan

Pluna flight 153 arrived at Buenos Aires Aeroparque at 1024 local (11 mins early):ok:
Dont know about the MAD/MVD flight though.

Thank you. It seems too early for her to have been able to get this flight. I wonder if I can call and they will speak English, to check on the whereabouts of my partner? The email I have (the flight confirmations) say PL153, but that leaves earlier than the 1115 that the email says. I'm thus confused.

Hi Remember that there is a 1 hour time difference between Uraguay and Argentina :ok:

Wow. Good point. I'll expect her online soon once home then :) Thanks for your input.

Fairford ops
 

the other day i picked up a message on what i thought was Fairford ops 129.7. but it sounded more like a civilian message with some stuff about so many passengers and so on like an ordinary message that you would recieve on a civil frequency. can anyone adivise as to what i had recieved and whether i have got the right frequency ( i have the uhf frequencies but didnt know if that was the right vhf frequency) please.
Kind Regards

Nudge... nudge. You have broken the law listening and broken it again publishing what you have heard - Wireless telegraphy Act. Extremely unwise to post on here.

OK - let's end this discussion of 'legality', or we will spiral into oblivion. Further posts on this will be deleted. Enough has been said, and HD has quite correctly outlined the 'law'. Whether it is enforced or not is of of no matter to us, but be warned - if approached by the authorities we would be legally bound to pass on what information we have on an illegal act and the poster involved.

Local news tonight tells me that Bournemouth airport now has the flight tracking option via 'WebTrak'.

Woops
 

Sorry about that didnt realise it was illegal to publish what i had heard, tahnks for your help,

Kind Regards.

Dublin ATC
 

Currently listening on http://www.liveatc.net Its very quiet, just heard someone taking off with very little clearance information.


http://www.dublinairport.com arrivals shows lots of delays.

I can hear a strange sound on frequency....

I heard talking, and now constant distortion

Someone call ya man in Dublin and tell him to turn his squelch up!

There back!

Edit: Or are they?

HD,

That means there were a lot of people in the Blackpool area breaking the law right up until the late 90's when the two 264A radars were operating at St Anne's. Apparently they operated in the UHF channel 36 frequency, hence the lovely white lines you used to get on your screen every 15 seconds or so. :8

Virgin 1 diversion to Shannon today
 

Just monitoring the skies tonight... noticed VS001 is flying westbound over SW Ireland now, departed Shannon about 20 mins ago. Any news as to why she diverted to Shannon? It's G-VROC.

Thank you
