Krasse Bilder

Wenn es doch nur am anderen Ende der Welt wäre.....

Jetzt geht die "Party" los:

EDIT: Denkpause.
Frage: Werden Flughafen Schliessungen basierend auf der Karte die ich geposted habe, oder der Ash Concentration Chart gemacht? Beide zeichenen ein Total verschiedenes Bild?

Hi,
na hoffentlich erwischt es Deutschland nicht - am Freitag flieg ich nach Düsseldorf, das wäre kritisch, wenn die die Flüge streichen würden.

Ich habe es mir fast schon heute Mittag gedacht, als ich gelesen habe, dass Obama laut Plan erst morgen Früh nach London fliegen wollte...

N24: Obama bricht Irlandbesuch vorzeitig ab

Nikolaus: Die erste Frage kann ich dir zwar nicht beantworten, aber wieso sollen die Karten ein unterschiedliches Bild zeichnen? Deine gepostete Karte zeigt einfach grob den generell aschekontaminierten Bereich. Dagegen diffenrenzieren die Ash Concentration Charts eben nochmal in diesen Bereichen, wie der Name sagt, Gebiete unterschiedlicher Konzentrationen von Asche. Die äußeren Grenzen stimmen exakt mit denen auf deiner geposteten Karte überein.

So, Kurzübersicht:

2130 UTC

The daily plan for volcanic ash conference is as follows:
0800, 1400 and 2000 UTC

NEXT TELECONFERENCE IS PLANNED AT 0800 UTC ON 24th MAY.

According to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) in London,
depending on the continuing eruption of the volcano and the meteorological conditions,
there is a risk that some ash cloud may reach parts of northern Europe in the next 48 hours.

IN THE MEANTIME AIRCRAFT OPERATORS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO CLOSELY MONITOR ALL RELEVANT NOTAMS, SIGMETS AND THE ASH CONCENTRATION CHARTS ON https://www.forum.eulenandfriends.de/WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND UPDATES.

Due to the increasing number of issued Notams, it is no longer possible for CFMU to keep the NOP portal updated with current Notam numbers.

Germany has issued a Notam A1890/11, where the intension of DFS is described, in case of ash contamination in German airspace. Information can also be found on their website https://www.forum.eulenandfriends.de/www.dfs.de
For aircraft operators:
All queries on any volcanic ash issues, or cloud reports from pilots, please direct them to:

A1890/11 (Issued for EDWW EDGG EDMM PART 4 OF 9) -
REASON:
THE PUBLIC ORDER IS BASED ON ARTICLE 29 PARAGRAPH 1 SENTENCES 1 AND 2
OF THE GERMAN AVIATION ACT. ITS AIM IS TO AVERT OPERATIONAL HAZARDS
TO AIR SAFETY AS WELL AS HAZARDS TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND ORDER WHICH MAY
RESULT FROM FLIGHTS OPERATING IN AIRSPACES CONTAMINATED WITH VOLCANIC
AEROSOL (VOLCANIC ASH).
SUCH FLIGHTS MIGHT HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS INCLUDING ENGINE FAILURES OR
LOSS OF POWER IN ONE OR ALL ENGINES, DISPLAY OF UNRELIABLE SPEED AND
NAVIGATION DATA AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. EVEN LOW CONCENTRATIONS
OF VOLCANIC ASH MIGHT AFFECT THE AIRWORTHINESS IN THE MEDIUM OR LONG
TERM. IN THE LIGHT OF THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, ONLY AN ASH
CONCENTRATION BELOW 0.2 MG PER CUBIC METRE IS ASSUMED TO HAVE NO
INFLUENCE ON AVIATION.
ACCORDING TO STANDARDS PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION
ORGANISATION (ICAO) AND TO GERMAN LEGISLATION, THE GERMAN
METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE (DWD) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANALYSING AND
PREDICTING THE CONTAMINATION OF GERMAN AIRSPACE WITH VOLCANIC ASH AND
FOR PUBLISHING THE RELEVANT SIGMETS (ARTICLE 4 PARAGRAPH 1 OF THE LAW
ON THE GERMAN METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE (DWD) OF 10 SEPTEMBER 1998

10 OF THE LAW OF 29 JULY 2009 (BGBL. I P. 2424) IN CONJUNCTION WITH
ANNEX 3.4.2 TO THE ICAO CONVENTION OF 7 DECEMBER 1944 (BGBL. 1956 II
P. 0412, 1997 P. 1777)). THE VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATION IS DETERMINED
ON THE BASIS OF CURRENT MEASUREMENTS AND PREDICTIONS DESCRIBING THE
CURRENT SITUATION AS WELL AS THE ATMOSPHERIC SPREAD AND CONCENTRATION
OF VOLCANIC ASH IN THE NEAR FUTURE (ONE TO TWO DAYS).
TO ANALYSE AND PREDICT THE VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATION WITHIN GERMAN
AIRSPACE, THE DWD USES THE LATEST PUBLICATIONS OF THE COMPETENT
VOLCANIC ASH ADVISORY CENTRE (VAAC) IN THE INTERNET AND OF
EUROCONTROL/CFMU.
IF CURRENT QUALITY-CHECKED MEASUREMENTS OR RESULTS OF ALTERNATIVE
SPREAD MODELS FOR THE CONCENTRATION OF VOLCANIC ASH IN AIRSPACE ARE
AVAILABLE, THE DWD WILL EVALUATE THESE AT ITS OWN DISCRETION AND
ADAPT SOME DETAILS OF ITS CONCENTRATION VALUES IN A WAY SUITABLE FOR
DFS DEUTSCHE FLUGSICHERUNG GMBH.
IN THE CASE OF A POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION OF GERMAN AIRSPACE, THE DWD
WILL PUBLISH A SIGMET. IN ADDITION, IT TRANSMITS TO DFS DETAILED
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND DEGREE OF
VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATIONS.

A1890/11 (Issued for EDWW EDGG EDMM PART 6 OF 9) -
THE AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES ORGANISATIONS USE THE SIGMET AND THE
DETAILED INFORMATION ON VOLCANIC ASH CONCENTRATIONS AS A BASIS TO
CHECK WHETHER AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CLEARANCES CAN BE ISSUED IN LINE
WITH ARTICLE 8 OF THE GERMAN IMPLEMENTATION REGULATION ON AIR
NAVIGATION SERVICES (FSDURCHFUEHRUNGSV) IN CONJUNCTION WITH SECTIONS
1 AND 2 OF THIS GENERAL ORDER.
ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 19 FSDURCHFUEHRUNGSV, DFS PUBLISHES NOTAM
CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE RELEVANT PROCEDURES. ALL PILOTS
MUST COMPLY WITH SIGMET AND NOTAM.
IT SHALL BE CONSIDERED THAT IN AIRSPACES CONTAMINATED WITH VOLCANIC
ASH ACCORDING TO SIGMET AND NOTAM, THE MAXIMUM VOLCANIC ASH
CONCENTRATION IS GIVEN AS AN AIR COLUMN OF DEFINED POWER. THE ACTUAL
CONCENTRATION MIGHT DEVIATE FROM THIS VALUE.
ACCORDING TO SECTION 1, FLIGHTS IN AREAS OF LOW CONTAMINATION ARE
PERMITTED. THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS IMPLY THAT THEY DO NOT
CAUSE SHORT-TERM IMPAIRMENT OF AN AIRCRAFT'S SAFETY OF OPERATION.
THE MANDATORY INFORMATION AND REPORTING PROCEDURES FOR PILOTS AND
AIRCRAFT OPERATORS LAID DOWN IN SECTIONS 1.2 AND 1.3 ONLY SERVE
PREVENTIVE PURPOSES. THE RULE OF CONDUCT GIVEN IN SECTION 1.2

SPECIFIES THE GENERAL REPORTING DUTY LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 20 OF THE
GERMAN AVIATION REGULATION (LUFTVO) IN MORE DETAIL.
SECTION 2.1 LAYS DOWN A FLIGHT BAN FOR AREAS OF MEDIUM OR HIGH
CONTAMINATION. CURRENT SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT SUCH
CONTAMINATION GENERALLY POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO AN AIRCRAFT'S
SAFETY OF OPERATION, IMMEDIATELY AND WITH SHORT-TERM EFFECT. SECTION
2.2 EXCLUDES CERTAIN FLIGHTS FROM THE SCOPE OF THE GENERAL ORDER. THE
FLIGHTS GIVEN IN INDENTS 1 TO 5 ARE TO PREVENT IMMINENT EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS. THIS JUSTIFIES THE CONDUCT OF THESE FLIGHTS. IT CAN BE
ASSUMED THAT THE PILOT, AND THIRD PARTIES, CAN AVOID DISRUPTIONS DUE
TO VOLCANIC ASH IN TIME BY TAKING THE REQUIRED EMERGENCY MEASURES, IF
NECESSARY BY MEANS OF EMERGENCY LANDINGS.
SCIENTIFIC FLIGHTS IN LINE WITH INDENT 6 ARE CONDUCTED UNDER
CONSIDERATION OF THE RELEVANT PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND ARE SUBJECT TO
SPECIAL CONTROL. IN ADDITION, FLIGHTS ACCORDING TO INDENTS 7 AND 8
ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE GENERAL ORDER SINCE, ACCORDING TO SCIENTIFIC
FINDINGS, THE AIR WITH MEDIUM OR HIGH CONTAMINATION FROM VOLCANIC ASH
HAS NO IMMEDIATE EFFECTS ON THE SAFETY OF OPERATION OF THESE

AIRCRAFT. THIS IS DUE TO THEIR SPECIAL TECHNICAL DESIGN. THE STRICTER
REQUIREMENTS FOR FLIGHTS BY TURBOJET AIRCRAFT ACCORDING TO INDENT 9
ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE, DUE TO THEIR DIFFERENT TECHNICAL FEATURES,
THEY ARE MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISRUPTIONS BY VOLCANIC ASH
CONTAMINATION THAN THE OTHERS.
IN ADDITION, IT MUST BE OBSERVED THAT THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT RELIEVE
THE PILOT FROM THE DUTY TO ADHERE TO THE GENERAL REGULATIONS AND, IN
EACH INDIVIDUAL CASE, TO DECIDE AD-HOC WHETHER IT IS SAFE ENOUGH TO
CONDUCT A FLIGHT.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.3, THE DUTIES LAID DOWN IN SECTIONS 1.2
AND 1.3 MUST BE OBSERVED MORE THAN EVER. A HIGHER VOLCANIC ASH
CONTAMINATION CONSTITUTES A GREATER HAZARD TO THE SAFETY OF
OPERATION.
SECTION 2.4 SPECIFIES AN ABSOLUTE FLIGHT BAN. ACCORDING TO PROVEN
SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS, VISIBLE VOLCANIC ASH CLOUDS CONSTITUTE AN
IMMEDIATE DANGER TO FLIGHT OPERATIONS.

Zitat von padde

Die äußeren Grenzen stimmen exakt mit denen auf deiner geposteten Karte überein.

Eben nicht. Teilweise fehlt eben eine Ganze "Ecke" auf der Jeweils anderen Karte.
Beispiel (Wenn auch eins der Schlechteren) Unten ist SFC-200.

Auf der Concentration Chart ist Glasgow schon "dicht", Kerry kurz davor. Auf der Anderen Karte ist davon keine Sicht.

In 45min soll eine neue Ash Advisory Chart rauskommen, ich denke das die Ganz Aufschlussreich bzgl .Deutschland sein wird.

Nikolaus: Du musst schon auf die Zeiten achten. Die obere Karte ist für 18Z, während die untere schon 6 Stunden weiter ist und die Situation um 00Z beschreibt. Wenn du die entsprechende Ash Concentration Chart für 18Z hernimmst, wirst du sehen, dass die Umrisse übereinstimmen.

Haha, scheiss. Da war's Hirn wohl grad aus :wall: Aber meine Antwort hab ich gefunden:

Zitat von Met Office

Ash Concentration Charts

These charts supplement the London Volcanic Ash Advisory graphics (VAG) and advisories (VAA). They are to be used with caution. The outer edge of the low concentration zones (indicated as cyan) on these charts represent the standard threshold (200 micrograms of ash per cubic metre) as used in the VAG and VAA. Due to the automated nature of production these charts will not be identical to the Volcanic Ash Graphic. In accordance with the definitions in the ICAO EUR/NAT Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan (ICAO EUR Doc 19 and NAT Doc 06 Part II, December 2010 edition), the following concentrations are indicated:

Low Concentration (<2000 micrograms per cubic metre), is indicated as cyan on the map graphics on these web pages.

Medium Concentration (>=2000 micrograms per cubic metre, < 4000 microgram per cubic metre), is indicated as grey on the map graphics on these web pages.

High Concentration (>=4000 micrograms per cubic metre), is indicated as red on the map graphics on these web pages.

Operators should refer to national NOTAMs for official guidance on any restrictions/actions regarding flight in affected airspace, and the official boundaries applicable to such restrictions/actions.

Airlines operating in UK airspace should review the document “Guidance Regarding Flight Operations in the Vicinity of Volcanic Ash” which can be found via http://www.caa.co.uk/volcano, under the ‘Volcanic Ash Information’ link.

Hier übrigens die VAG von 0000Z, um 0600Z kommt eine Neue:

Dann ist es spätestens heute um 00Z über Deutschland, so wie das aussieht. Bin mal gespannt was das wird..
Letztes Mal war die Asche doch höher oder? Das was zu uns kommt ist ja anscheinend zum größten Teil schon abgesunken auf SFC-FL200

Jemminido:

Das haben wir gleich Hier, so sah's beim Eyjafjallajökull aus:

Was ich übrigens ganz nett finde, ist das man sich auf Flightradar24 jetzt die "Wolke" auch anzeigen lassen kann:

EDIT: So, neue VAG Karte:

Aber aktuelle Eruption nur 5 km, das hat doch schonmal was...

Die Errektio...Eruption aus der Luft!

[video]

Wow! Klasse Video, klasse Musik! Sehr imposant auch einige der vielen Blitze und wenn man sich an die Videos vom letzten Jahr erinnert, erkennt man auch deutlich die diesjährige gesteigerte Blitzrate.

People in the Scottish Highlands report finding their cars covered with volcanic ash Tuesday Morning (May 24th).

Zitat

Ryanair confirms that it operated a one hour verification flight up to 41,000 feet in Scottish airspace this morning (24th May). The aircraft took off from Glasgow Prestwick, flew to Inverness, on to Aberdeen and down to Edinburgh - all of which according to CAA charts were in the “red zone” of “high ash concentration”.

There was no visible volcanic ash cloud or any other presence of volcanic ash and the post flight inspection revealed no evidence of volcanic ash on the airframe, wings or engines. The absence of any volcanic ash in the atmosphere supports Ryanair’s stated view that there is no safety threat to aircraft in this mythical “red zone” which is another misguided invention by the UK Met Office and the CAA.

Ryanair has also received written confirmation from both its airframe and engine manufacturers that it is safe to operate in these so called “red zones” and, in any event, Ryanair’s verification flight this morning also confirms that the “red zone” over Scotland is non-existent.

Ryanair has renewed its calls on both the CAA in the UK and the IAA in Ireland to reopen airspace over Scotland and allow airlines to operate flights safely when this morning’s verification flight has demonstrated that the UK Met Office’s “red zone” forecasts are totally unreliable and unsupported by any evidence of volcanic ash concentrations whatsoever.
