PiAware Showing Flight Out of Charlotte in Trouble
« on: Today at 10:01:32 AM »
My PiAware setup is showing American Airlines flight, AAL2007, is having a problem.  Found it when they squawked 7600 on their transponder.
The flight was bound for Pensacola, FL, but as of 0955 the Airbus A321 is holding at 7100 feet in a racetrack pattern west of Charlotte.  This is likely to work checklists and burn off fuel to reach a safe landing weight before returning to Charlotte.  Don't know what the issue is.  If I had time I'd fire up one of my SDRs and listen in on the approach frequency for Charlotte.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

AAL2007 has left the holding pattern and is now being vectored back to Charlotte.  Speed and altitude are both decreasing as the flight heads back.

Flight disappeared just about where one would expect prior to landing from the south at Charlotte.  The PiAware system can track flights almost to landing from that direction.  I'm sure they got down safely.
