Flight paths of aircraft taking off and landing at LHR during a two hour window.

This snapshot captures the flight paths of aircraft taking off from the northern 27R and landing on the southern 27L (known as westerly operations). Data was captured during a two hour window in November 2021, just as the aerodrome began to resume full operations following 18 months of travel restrictions.

Arriving aircraft are coloured purple. Departing aircraft are coloured yellow. Flight position and altitude are derived from unfiltered ADS-B data.
