Google says Runway Delay.




What does this mean? Foreign object on runway?

What does this mean? Foreign object on runway?

Birdstrike?!

 

[AIRwin]

FR24 didn't record speed for the runway section, so hard to tell if they just decided to head back or actually started the takeoff roll.

Looks like it's returning to gate again?

 

[jb747]

Birdstrike?!

You don't have birdstrikes at 30 knots!

Sat for 10 minutes at the holding point, and then never accelerated above taxi speed on the runway, so my bet would be something came up prior to entering the runway.

 

[djmagra]

Yep, turnaround #2

 

[AIRwin]

Will crew be out of hours?

 

[RichardMEL]

gee sounds like a tech issue to me possibly. ouch.

FR24 is no longer listing this flight for LiveView anymore (unable to view on the map either)

On Friday 6 January 2023, QF11, the 1120 hours SYD-LAX is estimated to depart 205 minutes late at 1445. Aircraft is A388 VH-OQD that arrived ex SIN on the overnight delayed QF2 at 2048 hours.

QF11 did not get into the sky until 1543 hours, so same day LAX arrival is forecast as 0943 hours, 218 minutes behind the timetable.

This is also resulting in a delay of QF36 SIN-MEL...

Taxiing for Third Try at Take-off

If PAX disembarked each time they must be fed up with "Even if you fly with us often..."

"Subtly every aircraft take-off is different..."

I believe i know why such many delays today at SYD - the wet weather event that already cancelled the day's play at the cricket @ the SCG amongst other issues

On Friday 6 January 2023, QF11, the 1120 hours SYD-LAX is estimated to depart 205 minutes late at 1445. Aircraft is A388 VH-OQD that arrived ex SIN on the overnight delyed QF2 at 2048 hours.

The lunchtime 1225 hours SYD to MNL QF19 is back to its old tricks with takeoff on Friday at 1337 hours for the relatively unusual use of an A332 in VH-EBR. Arrival should be at about 1819 hours, 49 late, thus delaying the redeye QF20.

A333 VH-QPH on QF81 (1230 hours SYD-SIN) was in the sky 59 minutes later so gate arrival should be at around 1823, 33 behind.

Colleague VH-EBP is on QF67 (0920 hours SYD across and up to BLR) that is far worse with it not having become airborne until 1325 hours, so at gate pulling in should be 1924 hours, 219 minutes behind time. QF68 back will be hours late.

Flagship QF1 on 6 January is predicted to depart Sydney 115 minutes behind schedule at 1900 hours, making a timely LHR arrival impossible.

'The 2' with A388 VH-OQJ had arrived SYD this morning at 0814 hours, 124 minutes tardy. It's frequently delayed, resulting in reshuffling of connections given it isn't just carrying OD traffic.

Looks like QF1 is also delayed so those from QF51 connecting to it in SIN will still make it albeit the transit (and any lounge) time will be much shorter...

 

[tomlee1986]

Flight took off at 18:37 AEDST or 17:37 Qld Time and scheduled to arrive at 23:06 at this time... as to the QF1 - scheduled Sydney departure is at 19:00 AEDST but hopefully wont have too much more delay

 

[tomlee1986]

@Melburnian1 Please check the delay of QF51 from BNE to SIN on 06/01- scheduled 1105 departure did not take off until 1737, now arriving at 2308 - its VH-EBN, A333-200 service
