If we did that 100 times, I’m not sure we could have got that any closer.

Had a quick look around a @Qantas #A380 this week. Absolute beast. Massive @RollsRoyce engines. But a teeny-tiny landing gear lever 🤣

Nice to get out and about on the airfield yesterday with the Airside Ops team @HeathrowAirport. Love the smell of jet fuel in the morning!

A great chat with two absolute pros.
"We know we're doing the job well when it's a bit boring." 🎙️ In our latest episode of Altitude we were joined by pilots from both the @NPASLondon & @LDNairamb to get an inside look into how they serve from the skies. 🚁 Catch up on the full episode: bit.ly/3WbPJEJ

The calm before the storm yesterday. I can confirm that the tower was wobbling a bit 💨

35 years ago tonight, we remember the 259 souls who lost their lives on Clipper 103, plus 11 on the ground in the Scottish town of Lockerbie. N739PA pushed back from Stand K14 and took off from Runway 27R, with most passengers travelling home for the Christmas holidays. RIP.

When the big hand hits Stand 334, it means it is 13:00 in London.

One or two rules bent here… 🤣
An interesting and unusual incident from 1980… The story goes that when ATC called HM Customs, saying that there was a Chipmunk next to runway 28R, the bewildered reply was ‘Have you tried the RSPCA?’ 😂 (Daily Post/photo © Joop de Groot)

From the comfort of the control tower at Heathrow, I witnessed 10 x consecutive missed approaches during Storm Eunice in 2022, all well executed. Both flight crews and ATC are highly trained in this well-established procedure.
It’s going to be a breezy couple of days at various airports in the UK and around Europe. This will probably result in a few go-arounds being flown. Please don’t be concerned about these. It is a normal manoeuvre we perform if a safe landing isn’t assured. You’ll be fine 😄✈️

The views over London on the westerly approaches are awesome, but the approach to 09L from OCK or BIG can be just as delightful. Quiz - name the airfield.
