VH-FNY radio problems

Post by JinbaIttai »

I got an alert that FNY (a Skywest Fokker 100) was squawking 7600 (radio problems)

It managed to get clearance to land, but is currently causing problems on the ground as it's a) not able to get directions to its bay and b) has an open mike causing Perth Tower to have intermittent problems communicating with other planes.

Good spotting Matt.

FlightRadar24 has also tweeted about the same thing but with a lot less info than you posted ;) ...

That's where I got the alert :)

I clicked the link on twitter and was surprised to be looking at a map of Perth, and even more surprised to realise the data came from my ADS-B feed into FR24... :mrgreen: ( I'm radar YPPH-2 )

I then tuned into Numloxx's liveatc feed in time for the plane to get landing clearance, and cause the brief drama on the ground.
