United 2193 from Middle Georgia Rgnl to Dulles flies a long way
Anyone have an idea why this flight went so far out of a direct path? (flightaware.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Direct: 554 sm Planned: 1,325 sm Flown: 1,271 sm It looks like ATC got them in with less miles than THEY planned.
Maintenance Acceptance Flight ... If unacceptable issues,usually "diverts" back to origin and the maintenance base for warranty work. This one looked like UA accepted the aircraft and took it back into service at the IAD hub.
UAL has contract heavy maintenance in MCN. 2193/30JUN was likely a position flight back to IAD after maintenance work
Any possibility that the weather system shown had move into the intended flight path? There is a couple hours difference in the diagram and the flight time. But I don't think the weather moved that fast.
This is after the flight was completed. The view right after it passe Evansville showed about the same weather as this does.
I may have found the answer. This flight number appears to be used for check rides or some similar activity. It has an interesting history. I should have researched this more before posting.
