Ryanair fuel emergency

[robin]

well so has valencia , but each runway has 2 numbers , the magnetic heading divided by ten
eg if the runway heads due north and the aircraft lands in that direction the pilot lands has landed on runway 36 ; if he lands in the other direction he has landed on runway 18

so when you are given the runway number you know the direction of landing [ or take off if applicable ]

so , when the aircraft approaches the pilot then knows which direction to land in

as you see , it means that this aircraft tried to land in alicante travelling towards the sea , and more or less the same at valencia

if there are parallel runways they will be designated right and left

the runways will be marked at the landing end with their number

btw , the uplink showing activity near alicante ....is that you ?

actually , it looks more like it is someone in ibiza with a radius of perhaps 100nm

Thanks that explains it.

NO not me yet.

Hopefully in a week or 2, I am waiting on external aerial to arrive.

Also a cheap laptop is on its way to me today so I can do 24/7
