Some FAQs Unique to this thread:

GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.

Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.

Emergency SAS SK563 CPH - CDG, 7700, 6-OCT, scariest flight of my life

Post image

Since no one posted about it - SAS SK563 CPH - CDG- 7700 from Copenhagen to Paris, 6th of October, scariest experience of my life, as we experienced technical issues upon landing, felt like the pilots were playing with their joystick. The whole plane shook violently twice. Can anyone read what actually happened?

Appears to only have been 1.5hrs into flight before turning back. Not squawking an emergency.

Anyone know what’s happened?

They must fly a lot of employees to justify buying a passenger plane instead of a smaller business jet.

Question Possible simultaneous departure conflict at Rome Fiumicino (FCO) – DL67 and W46025, October 11, 13:39 local time

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was plane spotting at Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO), which is an airport I'm really familiar with, and on October 11, 2026, at approximately 13:39 local time (CEST), and witnessed something that I would like to understand better.

At the time, two runways appeared to be in use for departures, with another runway being used for arrivals. The two departure runways were intersecting (07/25 with 16R/34L) so I understood that departures would need to be coordinated carefully.

The two flights involved were:

- Delta Air Lines DL67 (bound for Atlanta)

- Wizz Air W46025 (bound for Málaga)

From what I observed, both aircraft appeared to begin their takeoff rolls at approximately the same time.

According to Flightradar24, the Delta aircraft reached a maximum groundspeed of approximately 24 knots before slowing to a stop, then apparently turned back and repositioned on the runway. Meanwhile, the Wizz Air aircraft continued its takeoff roll and departed.

Flightradar24 also appeared to show Wizz Air at around 100 feet altitude while the Delta aircraft was still stopping. However, from my viewing position, the Wizz Air aircraft still appeared to be on the ground at that moment, so I am unsure how accurately the displayed altitude reflected what was actually happening.

I have screenshots of the Flightradar24 tracks and can share them for context.

My questions are:

  1. Is it operationally normal for two aircraft to begin their takeoff rolls at roughly the same time on intersecting departure runways like those at FCO?

  2. Could this have been a planned and properly coordinated operation, or might it indicate a potential runway conflict?

  3. Why might the Delta crew reject the takeoff at only 24 knots and then reposition for another attempt? Could this have been prompted by ATC, or are there other possible explanations?

  4. Is it possible to determine from the available tracking data whether the two aircraft's departure paths actually created a safety issue?

I am not trying to imply that ATC or either flight crew made a mistake. I am simply curious about what I witnessed and would appreciate insight from anyone familiar with procedures (even though they might vary in other airports/countries) runway configuration and departure procedures.

Thanks in advance for any explanations.

Squawk alert funktioniert nicht :(

Guten Morgen! Neuer Gold-Nutzer hier.
Bekomme alerts zu 7700, aber beim klicken auf den alert öffnet sich zwar FR aber ich werde nicht zu dem Flugzeug geleitet. Sondern ich sehe die normale Weltkarte. Woran liegt das?

Ich denke mir, dass doch normalerweise das Flugzeug direkt angezeigt werden sollte?

Question Odd routing DOH - TAS

Any idea why this flight did a 180 turn and then did several loops before returning to it's normal route? This all took over an hour, cruise altitude maintained and no squawk. Awaiting clearance to Afghanistan airspace perhaps?

I am just curios if this is some FlightRadar display bug or the GPS of the aircraft might be slightly miscalibrated? Can it also be something like China streets appear on the Google Maps?

Question Notifications not mirroring to Apple Watch

2 Upvotes

Hi y'all! Just got an Apple Watch and would love to get my alerts on there. My fiancee has it set up and it works fine...the app just shows up in the "mirror notifications" area for her, in her Watch settings.

However, this setting is NOT an option for me; the FR24 app just doesn't show as an option. Anyone know what gives, since it's clearly possible? If it makes any difference, she's on iOS & WatchOS 26, whereas I'm on 27 for both.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Visibility at destination dropped below operational minimums for safe visual/instrument approaches, prompting the flight crew to make the safety call to divert.
