Swedish tabloid Expressen reports an incident involving Flybe flight AY2115 and Ryanair FR4764 having occurred at Tallin/EETN rwy 08 around 20:20 Monday Dec 22nd. The Flybe flight landed ahead of Ryanair and had not vacated the runway when the Ryanair Boeing touched down. This caused the crew of the Ryanair flight to make a go-around.
There are two lines of speculation;
-- Tallin control allowed the separation to go below acceptable minima for the prevailing weather/runway condition/visibility conditions, or did not monitor the runway properly.
-or-
-- FR4764 attempted to land without receiving clearance to do so.
link to video, AY2115 lands at 1:24, FR4764 about 1:50 into the clip.
The video is not continuous and there are no real time tags avaliable, so it is clearly edited and time lapsed:
I have not been able to find out if EETN has ground surveillance radar installed.
It looks like the tower is located at the western end of the runway, placing a landed aircraft at worst 3000m+ away in the darkness.. It also appears that the first available exit to the taxiway at the eastern end of the runway is some 450 meters back west from the end, so if AY2115 did not make that last exit due to low friction affecting deceleration, the Ryan crew may have been looking straight at an ATR-72 rolling up the runway toward them.
Facts to follow... anyone heard more about this?
