Re: Howler 21 flight - 17/10/2023 - Movements

Howler 22 had an unsafe gear indication. Declared an IFE following the low approach to get a visual inspection of the gear from the ground. After landing they elected to vacate the active and have the gear pinned prior to taxi.

I've got Fairford Ground as 121.175 (can't remember if that equates to actual frequency of 121.180). Fairly sure RIAT tend towards VHF where possible

If the purple route is shut over the weekend then blue departures will be affected.
Could be. They may utilise the alternate blue route via Castle Eaton for departures to try and ease the burdon.
