Mönchengladbach (MGL/EDLN) 2020

[Antheii]

Finnish Coast Guard AS332 'OH-HVG' just left Marseille, on its way north again, with call sign H215Y.
Stops for today include Troyes, MGL (somewhere between 15:00 and 16:00), and continuing to Bad Bramstedt (near Hamburg)

Thanks for the heads up.

Chopper crossed level90, still on ground presumed at intermediate.

There's bad weather ahead enroute as for 2nd intermediate (EDLN): area Troyes-to-Metz is rather empty (stormy front)
+ originating Eifel-area drifting NW: showering rain/thunderstorms and (temp?) gusts foreseen up to 30-45kn ground (as good as for the whole Ardennes, NRW-area, incl. EDDK!)

Managable for the moment, but this can affect operations. Wonder if they'll circumnavigate, delay, or divert?
Someone on an actual/updated fpl-alternate (as we speak?)

Looks like it left Troyes and flying north.

From twitter:
Pakistan Navy’s first Embraer Lineage 1000 has arrived in Karachi some time back. It went on a test flight today and InshAllah will soon be sent to RAS Germany to turn the commercial VIP plane to a LRMPA. #Pakistan will get 9 more Embraer Lineage 1000s for LRMPAs.

I wonder if the runway at Mönchengladbach is long enough for the Lineage?

I think you’re right about that.
Runway is 1200m and Lineage needs 1852m for take off.
