[ACARS] LH8545 routing?

[Stefan Schmiegel]

Hi !

I couldn't find DLH8545 within the current timetable of Frankfurt Airport,
so it seems to be a nonscheduled cargo flight to Helsinki.
That's not as strange as it might look like, because Lufthansa Cargo does
fly short
distances regularly. For example DLH 8382 leaves Frankfurt to Goteborg (GOT)
on a first leg of a flight around the globe. From GOT DLH 8382 continues
it's journey to Fairbanks (FAI) and to Osaka (KIX) before returning to
Frankfurt as DLH 8383.
I don't have an idea about how often the aircraft changes on such a trip and
if the carry any cargo between each of those legs. Some ATC controllers of
Frankfurt ACC (officially named Langen Radar) have been reporting
"extraordinary" climb performances of some MD11 flights departing towards
scandinavia (e.g. climb rates between 2500 and 4500 feet per minute have
already been seen)

By the way: scheduled cargo flights are listed in the official timetable of
Frankfurt Airport. www.frankfurt-airport.de  Have a look under "quick links"
"flightplanning", there you should find a link to download a PDF version.
