I think there's been a British Airways A318 circuit bashing again today.

Jeez sorry was kinda half thinking when I posted that, the noise from the regular visitor to Cambridge airport and I suppose Marshalls in particular has started again.

I wondered if anyone knew of what the BA A318 was doing with Marshalls. Its a regular visitor last year doing circuits and yesterday returned for the first time I noticed in 2011.

Sometimes it has Mode S switched on but not always. Unable to check at the moment, mid rehashing my hobby room which is under the approach.

Cambridge has a changable glidescope, so they can increase it from 3.3 degrees to the 5.5 degrees used at City, to allow the crews to train without the risk of wiping out a large chunk of London :)

I think that's to do with learning to stop in the correct distance, though I may be mistaken!
