Yes, I really was on that flight. I have to say that the pilot did the right thing under the circumstances and I am very thankful that he ultimately landed the plane safely.
Captain took the correct decision. The main problem landing with hard crosswinds is that the aircraft could turn off the runway or bump one of the wings. Both situations could turn catastrophic.
To a certain degree yes. It makes him a good pilot due to him understanding his limitations and making the right and smart decision. A more experienced pilot might have found this approach much easier and nailed it with no trouble. Going around means good pilot? Yes, in the terms that he realizes his limitations and does not get too cocky. Good pilot as in experienced? I do not necessarily agree.
Whoa! Look at the angle of attack on climb with full flaps! The nose must be way above the horizon. It looks like it climbs well considering it's got full flap.
I was on an Embrarer heading from to ATL and we hit 747 wake turbulence at cruising altitude. The wings dipped and the plane did a little nose down action. People screamed but not a big deal. Lasted 4 or 5 seconds.
theres was a lot of sudden movements befor it flew over the run way, i would have crapped it, suppose he was never stopping that plane even if he did touch down on that attempt.
No way I'm a pilot IRL (more like flight simulator) but this is part of operating procedures. The pilot must apply full power, reduce flaps, and retract landing gears. Just like takeoff, it optimizes for safe climbing speed. Landing gear when down increases drag. Pilot climbs to pattern altitude and perform another approach or hold on to pattern until ATC clears the runway for landing.
This is a landing with the wind , rather than that of B777 of Korean was not , was caused only by a serious error of evaluation of pilot..........nice job mate..........
Depends on the circumstances, Segundo; in a place like Narita it's extremely crowded up top so the pilot probably upped the gear to achive a clean configuration - the go-round could take anything up to 20 minutes from spool-up. That would also have the benefit of reducing the fuel penalty as well.
Awesome move,when your not too sure then dont risk it,you do the go around and give it another try,this is a really good pilot, you have the lives of hundreds of people in your control ,to the person said scared? are you kidding me.
That is what I was wondering. I know there are lots of variables that could have been, that the video leaves us only to guess. I have been in a jet more than a car, and I mean that literally. For 8 years I flew home every weekend when I was not flying somewhere during the week. Only one go around. However, the air was empty so we simply climbed out, turned, re approached and landed on the 10001 ft runway at GSO.
@LeeClaxton He clearly has passed the TDZ (touch down zone)... because of the winds, look he's awesome, incredible control on final! I can't know how he was able to pass 200 ft (decission alt) without any problems. Such precission, such excellence.
@HamburgAirport propably U're right but the second opction is that he had wind from under i mean he was pushed up by wind that he couldn't did the touchdown
Good reply. I love to fly and no matter how many times I have made my own approach, I get so white knuckled. My instructor used to give me hell about it. He told me that pilots with numb hands have just a wee bit more trouble controlling their aircraft. I do not know why as climb out is where things can go bad in a bad way. Something about approaches just unnerves me when I am in the pilots seat.
