Boeing 787 Dreamliner arrival tomorrow to be broadcast live via the internet

People will be able to watch live air-to-air footage from a helicopter following the aircraft’s journey over Auckland before touching down at Auckland International Airport at approximately 10am.

The aircraft’s flight path over Auckland will depend on weather and wind conditions on the day but will follow one of two routes.

Expected flight path if landing on runway 23L to the southwest:
The aircraft will approach Auckland from the northeast over Browns Bay at approximately 9.50am before tracking to Whenuapai then turning left to fly at lower altitude over the harbour bridge and past the eastern beaches before turning right for a normal approach over Manukau City to Auckland International Airport.

Expected flight path if landing on runway 05R to the northeast:
The aircraft will approach Auckland from the northeast between Waiheke Island and Motutapu Island at approximately 9.50am, turn right over Browns Island and fly at lower altitude down the harbour over the harbour bridge towards Te Atatu before turning left for a normal approach over the Manukau Heads towards Auckland International Airport.

A replay of the arrival will be available on www.theflyingsocialnetwork.com from later on Saturday afternoon.
