Can't say I've ever flown with Jet2, but multiple emergencies at Manchester plus Jess Glynn on an infinite loop makes Ryanair sound appealing.
Jet 2's website says it landed at 2:04pm which is 14 minutes after the above weather report was issued.
HTH
ETA:
Jet 2's arrival time may be on stand as FlightAware thinks it 'landed' at 1:49pm which is pretty much the time that the weather report above was issued.
Wind is gusting between 8 and 19 mph at 70 degrees from the runway direction (around 230) with between 12 and 25% of the sky containing Cumulonimbus clouds:
I think that combination would create the conditions you described.

FFS, that’s nearly as bad as the report in the Daily fail, maximum speed landing, or perhaps landing at the correct speed for no flaps, but that wouldn’t make a good headline, retards. The aircraft wouldn’t land at the maximum speed, about 490 knots, more like 200 with no flaps, albeit a bit brown trouser, it’s practiced.anonymous said:

If you were late that likely contributed to the slow climb. When they’re late they fly fast which means a reduced climb rate. If you were flying on one of the old 737-300’s that will also have contributed.Turbulence was likely because of strongupper winds, I wasn’t in work today so haven’t looked but the other day they were blowing well over 100kts above FL280 with a fair amount of turbulence reported. Convective weather won’t have helped either.

Its about time the aviation industry accepted that teleprinters are as dead as the dinosaurs, and that it won't kill anyone to present weather information in a form that even non-Bletchley Parkers can understand.
It’s very concise and doesn’t take much practice to decipher in fairness.djc206 said:

I admire your ability to memorise all those EG** codes and not get them muddled!
If only it were just the EG’s that I remembered, I’ve got a head full of useless icao designators. At least the yanks keep things simple, KLAX, KLAS, KJFK, KBOS etc aren’t exactly difficult to work out!Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
