While watching on FR24 the problems fog is causing at Bristol, I have noticed Ryan Air B737-8s holding and then diverting (3 in last hour) while Easyjet A319s come straight in (4 in last hour) !! Do the A319s have better bad weather landing systems ?

Do the A319s have better bad weather landing systems ? I don't know really. But if I had to take a wild guess, it's probably because the A319 has a better take off/ landing capability due to its shorter body and so can go slow down to more stable speeds or rotate quickly on go-arounds.

I'm not sure, however, that you can take what you seen on FR24 for the real deal. They process the data they get from the ADS-B receivers, and sometimes their algorithms simply produce rubbish. A while back, I observed the flight path of an Air Canada B767, and made a screen shot of the slightly curious trajectory. But since I never heard of a serious problem like this with 767s, I assume that it's just a result of FR24's failed attempt to interpret some sketchy data.

Hi guys,first post here from a french guy,sorry for the bad english I think it's not a problem of landing capability.plus of type rating.not all the pilots are certified for CAT3 . if ryanair doesn't pay for the pilot's type ratings,the crew has not choice to divert. Easyjet has probably certified all its pilots to CAT3

Welcome to the forum, dylangalpe ! Your English is fine, and your valuable insights are most appreciated here. (I will have to add +1 to France in this thread when I have the time later)

Sometimes FR24 has to calculate it by MLAT. Beside other database bugs this explains some issues, for example many flights non Airbus flights out of XFW.

I warned everyone about FR24 ditching Planespotters.net and going to (buying) jetphotos. A lot more errors and inaccuracies ! now they have tweeted a picture of a 2 engined exec jet and called it a three engined exec jets name !!! Great colour scheme though
