Not really.... for example....what if you decide to divert and commence diverting and after an exhaustive discussion with Mtc you decide to go back on track to destination.....the same can be said for a pax and or medical problem.. Start to divert and then change your mind......=...a brief diversion.((you didn't maintain your flt plan route while you initiated a diversion but went back to flt plan after more information changed your decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yeah... I guess you don’t complete the diversion until you touch down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanishing point Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Can’t agree with that. Pilots make a decision based on all available information at the time. Once that decision is put into play, carry it through. I prefer to follow these words of wisdom: “We don’t have the fuel for this, Mav....” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIP Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 LGW-YVR Diverted to YEG, then continued to YVR awhile later. Was wondering why ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was it a medical issue that no longer needed a change of destination? YEG/YVR would not be a big change of routing after a long crossing from LGW.

J.O. Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Maybe a fuel range issue that was resolved with a couple of sharpened pencils in dispatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I divert all the time around thunder storms. Why is this a big deal if a flight diverts. This is getting petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may mean “deviate around weather” but you’re right we’ve beaten this minor operational event to death. Surely there is something for us to dissect?
