People living close to London Heathrow may have noticed a plane flying over the airport multiple times in last night.

A plane flew several times over both London Heathrow runway last night despite the curfew.

A small plane took off from London Gatwick to London Heathrow as a planned operation.

By midnight, the Diamond DA 62 (registration G-VNAV) performed a touch and go on the runway 09R then another approach on 09R before landing at the opposite side on runway 27L.

The calibration operation continued to runway 09L several times before few approaches and touch and go on runway 27R.

Overnight flight calibration checks will be conducted on the northern runway 27R and southern runway 27L after last movement. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
