Runway drama, four-hour fog and cockpit views – Four Minutes of Flight #13

Welcome to Four Minutes of Flight — our weekly aviation highlights series! Every episode features the most exciting moments we capture during our live streams at Manchester Airport and beyond. This week includes: A Qatar Airways Boeing 787-9 (A7-BHQ) slowly vacates 23R to cross for departure on 23L — but with a KLM Boeing 737-800 on short final, ATC instruct a go-around when separation margins tighten. A memorable sector for one KLM pilot — their very first flight after joining the airline, now immortalised on camera. Dense fog at Chambéry Airport leads to a four-hour delay, including TUI 737 G-FDZZ — every landing and departure condensed into a high-speed airfield time-lapse from the holding passengers’ perspective. The moment the fog finally lifts: engines spool and the pilots waste no time departing — only for another TUI service to Chambéry to line up right behind without the wait! A close-up encounter with an Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300ER on taxiway Victor Alpha — its GE90 engines dwarfing everything around them. Spotted: a First Officer films planes taking off whilst waiting on the taxiway inside the cockpit of the Boeing 777-300ER An Airbus A380’s flashing tail light sparks debate: loose connection, LED quirk, or something more else? If you enjoy live aviation, real-time ATC moments, engine power, big jets and dramatic weather — you’ll love this series. ⏱ New episodes every Wednesday at 5:00 PM UK Time 🎥 Live streams every Monday & Thursday evening, plus Saturday morning 🔔 Subscribe to never miss the next big moment! ⸻ Timestamps 00:00 - A very unusual landing approach 00:05 - Welcome to Four Minutes of Flight 00:12 - Qatar Boeing 787-9 is too slow 00:43 - KLM Boeing 737-800 forced into a go-around 01:23 - Fog at Chambery Airport delays TUI's G-FDZZ 02:04 - After FOUR hours by the runway, passengers are finally on their way 02:39 - A sting in the tail... 02:46 - A close-up look at the Boeing 777 and it's massive engines 03:22 - Eithad First Officer seen filming departing planes from cockpit 03:51 - A380's party trick or just morse-code? 04:18 - HYPE and like the flght! ⸻ About flght We stream aviation from Manchester Airport in all weather — storms, low-visibility ops, crosswinds, early mornings and nighttime departures. #GoAround #A380 #RunwayIncursion #FourMinutesOfFlight #flght #aviation #planespotting #aviationlovers #avgeek #takeoff #landing #manchesterairport © 2023–2026 flght LTD.
