There is a serious problem with the data.

04:13:00Z.502,0x4ca9bf,KGL9268,30.151,34.178,P,335 00,7327,404,335,-3584,A,2614,00
04:13:00Z.616,0x4ca9bf,KGL9268,30.154,34.176,P,297 50,7327,347,333,8000,A,2593,00
04:13:00Z.258,0x4ca9bf,KGL9268,30.153,34.177,P,309 75,7327,398,333,-5760,A,2132,00

The three reporting stations report substantial deviating values for the same timestamp.
E.g.:
Station 2614: 33500 ft
Station 2593: 29750 ft
Station 2132: 30975 ft

I suspect that this is because several BDS slices received at deviating times have been merged together. Would be nice to see that raw data stream.

[solibra]

Is the vertical speed in the CSV file the inertial or barometric vertical velocity from register BDS 6,0? Also, is IAS data available?

[Patrick Reeves]

Is there any possibility that ATC interrogated the transponder? There may be format 20 dataframes similar to the Germanwings flight.

Got General Emergency Alert for the UK, appears to be an RAF Beech 2000 in trouble up near Sleaford - nothing happening on FR24, appears to have stopped, either no tracking in the area or its gone down near Evedon and has now disappeared from my screen..

Anyone in the UK got more info?

Today having received a 'General Emergency' Alert on my iPhone via FR24, I tracked an Air France Airbus A380 (Air Italia Flight Charles De Gaul to Johannesburg) Flight Reference AF990A/AFR990A Registration F-HPJG.

It turned around just before Montpellier France and landed safely back at CDG although when I spoke to Air France they had no information on the reason and gave me the email address for the Press at Air Italia, so if I get any response, will give an update.

Although not confirmed by Air Italia who were leasing the aircraft, this report was published by the Mirror Newspaper in the UK - http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...eading-6632325

Whoopsy. Not that button!

Initial info yesterday morning:










1). The engineer on board doing the checking was a TRAINEE - why was he alone, without a LAE ?

2). The inter-locking pin with a red flag on the landing gear was MISSING - who didn't put in the pin or Who removed it before the aircraft is ready ?

Heads will roll and some people will be looking for new jobs - NOT in the aviation industry - but who knows - they may end up driving a Taxi ( from Air-Taxi repair to road-taxi ).,

While taxiing to the runway the crew aligned with a taxiway parallel to the runway and commenced takeoff but rejected when an alert ATC instructed them to stop, the crew did not find it necessary however to report the occurrence to JAL, the airline learned about the occurrence on Jul 23rd 2015 when they were contacted by Singapore's AIB.
