Qualcuno sa cosa è questo aereo (privato? Militare? Governo?) E perché sta volando così in basso per tutta la città per tutta la notte? Sto impazzendo. Sì, comprerò i tappi per le orecchie 🙄 ma forse qualcuno può soddisfare la mia curiosità. (Taggato come Whinging prima che qualcuno mi attacca per essermi lamentato dell’inquinamento acustico lol)

It is a calibration flight for the ILS system. Due to the nature of the flight patterns and required uninterrupted signals these flights have to be performed during the night
I don’t know about airplanes but AI suggests *maybe* AMS? Or maybe coronation. 🤷
The B350 aircraft is a specific model of the Beechcraft King Air 350 (also called the Super King Air), a twin-turboprop aircraft used for diverse roles including executive transport, cargo, air ambulance, and specialized government missions like radiation detection and environmental surveying. It is known for its versatile performance, comfortable and spacious cabin, and advanced avionics.
Key Characteristics
Type: Twin-engine turboprop aircraft.
Manufacturer: Textron Aviation (producer of Beechcraft).
Versatility: Used for a wide range of applications including corporate and private transport, air ambulance, cargo operations, and specialized utility tasks.
Cabin: Features a luxurious and spacious cabin designed for passenger comfort, with amenities like large windows, climate control, entertainment systems, and Wi-Fi.
Performance: Offers impressive range and performance capabilities, making it suitable for various missions.
Examples of Specialized Roles
Aerial Measurement System (AMS): Some B350s, like those operated by the U.S. Department of Energy, are configured to detect radiation, map nuclear fallout, and support emergency response to radiological events.
Environmental Surveys: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates B350 aircraft for coastal mapping and environmental surveys.
Air Transport: Used for patient transport and the movement of critical medical equipment.
Based on the shapes of the flight path it’s likely an aircraft flying to check the calibration of the navigation systems at the airport. Busy airports do this during the night since it would be a problem for other aircraft in the day.
