Mistake on Missed Approach in Nantucket Island in the Global Express - Pilot VLOG 175 

That was really tight indeed. Great job!

Glad to see you're still producing content even if it slowed down form the old days :)

What a great learning scenario. Many pilots would not have been so transparent, or possess such humility. SO good to see another video from you!

I absolutely did not notice the mistake, but appreciate your willingness to share. True professionals both of you!

Right down to the minimums!! Man you guys did great !

You are a great teacher sharing your mistakes as well as a beautiful approach to KACK. My favorite destination. Remember 109.10 - the "big 24". She'll always take care of you! Keep the blue skies up!

Hi! Nice to put a face(s) to the callsign. I was the approach controller you talked to most of the time. Pa31 is a navajo and the ones that fly in and out of ACK all the time keep that speed up just fine. I got you😊. Very cool video, like seeing behind the scenes.

Thanks Sean, great approach and landing! It's been a while It's good to see you again and hope to see more of you in the future!

This was great, we all make mistakes, it's a great learning and you see how two pilots work as a team. Nice video

Dude do not beat your self up over this! I have been flying for 50 years! Making a ago round is a good thing. But that was not the focus of this video. The end result was you made the decision to give your self an opportunity to fly this approach again. I will say the technology you have today really makes flying so much easier compared to my early days of my era! Good job guys! You cheated death once again. With skill!

Nice job guys. Glad you’re back and making videos again.

What a great learning experience. That puts you up a level from pilots who only report perfect scenarios.

That was exciting, thanks Shaun. My lunch break wasn't boring today.

Lately, we don't see videos too often. It's always nice to find an update. This time, you shared one with a go-around. Nobody is perfect. You have joined my club. Now we really have something in common. I'm glad everything worked out well. Happy subscriber 😊!

GR8 job all around guys! Excellent!, specially for such a tricky set of conditions!!! So great to see content from you again Shawn!

Great work. Excellent CRM between both of you. I’ve been there, I’m 65 and retired from the flight deck at American. I sure miss it. Enjoy it guys! Thanks again for the teachable moment.

Finally you’re posting more and more often. We’ve missed your videos. Or at least i have for sure.

Thank ypu fir sharing your flying. ☺ Smile.

I'm a non pilot and of course, missed your mistake. Great learning for all pilots - getting those procedure actions done automatically and in the right order can mean the difference between a good outcome and a much poorer one. Can't wait to see the 2nd attempt

That was awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. My eyes were straining for the lights as well!😂🤣😂

I am an aviation enthusiast and it is great to see a real life scenario and the live response

that was probably the closest call to see the approach lights ever 🤣 Well done 👍🏻

Absolute professional Sean. Great job for both of you. I would be completely comfortable with you in care of my family ( and myself of course)

I have flown enough to have gone thru several real missed approach. Some for heavy rain and thunderstorms and some for just plain old fog. Went thru a couple at DCA for a Delta flight in MD90. Fog was heavy in a very busy airport - it was basically zero feet and we missed at minimum. Worst was a rain storm into BWI and we had compressor stall because of rain ingestion. It was heavy rain! Bang bang and it was a go around. Little bit scary. I was way in back next to the right hand motor. It was loud. Very happy when we got on the ground.

Thanks for keeping it real! I enjoyed it. You guys are very professional.

I see one change with you.... pretty kool. Mayne others see it too. Glad video are coming back.... and YO tech Tuesday was my jam!!!!

Love the video! I know why you went straight to the NAV Source switch, it’s because you’re a Hawker guy, and we’re wired that way lol. Great job to the crew.

Damn it, where have you been? Welcome back. Great to see you again.

Glad to see U back !

I live there, and I’m going to start training to get my PPL in January

Brings back ‘pucker factor’ times while flying medevac in Germany! Even though I knew you were going to make it on the 2nd try, it was close. Nice teamwork and video!

My family's ranch is just a few miles south of Santa Barbara Airport. One evening the fog was just thick and it was soup. Maybe 100 vis. We had a 737 from Vegas try to get in numerous times. The weather just wouldn't cooperate. They went missed a few times and turned and headed back toward Vegas. Or maybe LAX.

love your videos!!! so important to be objective about your handling and learn from it. Thank you for making this a great teaching moment.

thanks for sharing this fantastic video very professional good luck

Nicely done. This weather is very common at ACK.

Where you been ,glad to see your still doing videos

Exciting!

Last second visible!!

I've been flying since 1981, got my instrument rating in 1985 and, in all the time since (granted that I've only averaged about 100 hours per year on my PPL) I've never had a missed approach and never been given a hold. Of course, I'm only referring to actual flying. I do recurrent training twice per year and fly tons of them in the sim.

glad to see you back this is 2 in a row I love your vids keep then coming

Sometimes I'm really glad I'm sitting back in row 35. All I'd be thinking about on approach is how long I might have to wait for my bag. I wouldn't want to see that approach in real life.

I got theeeeeeeeeee ruuuuuuuunway! haha!

Good honest flying report.

Thank you very much for the lesson, all the best!

Looking suave with the beard and hair trim young man 👍👍😎

Great lesson learned - thanks for sharing 😊👍

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Another excellent and instructive video. Enjoyed it as always.

Excellent tutorial.

Earned your money today gents!

Great learning experience. Awesome video as always.

Holy crap, I’d still be in the bar after those approaches.

Better to go around and live to tell the tale 😃

Please make more videos. Especially the thahiti videos. Love them!

…can’t find this flight on FlightRadar24…. But that bird GETS AROUND!

You shaved! Good! 👍👏😎

Great video. I so want to say if jon was left seat😢🎉😂😂❤

Thank you for your great videos!

I'm not a pilot, but I was under the impression that the actual runway had to be in sight at or before minimums. I didn't know the approach lights were sufficient. Great video and glad to see you back on line!

Nice Job !!! Congrat

The irony in this is that in a single-engine approach and go-around, the aircraft would have been able to transition into a safe climb with a little bit of a delay (compared to a normal approach). So you would have had to wait for positive rate of climb anyway, before retracting the gear 😁 I suspect that in the back of your mind, you were trying to economize on time and spontaneously re-set the navigation while the engines spooled up, descent was arrested and the climb started. On the other hand, I agree that sticking to the procedure is better, because it covers a wider variery of scenarios, for example single-engine go-around with a required minimum climb gradient around hills etc., where your attention may be inadvertendly bogged down too long if something unusual happens while working with the navigation re-set. So this is why it is a lesser risk to focus on the priorities as designed in the go-around procedure sequency - let's get the basic aerodynamics fixed before getting to the more advanced stuff (navigation).

nice!, I'm going there every day in the Cessna Caravan. If anyone ever misses, its in ACK..thick fog!

excellent learning experience thank you for sharing.

I assume the mistake was not calling positive rate before changing FCP modes. I did this in the sim once on an engine failure in go-around and actually neither of us noticed the gear was still down due to the high workload of managing the engine failure

Great video thank you!!

Go around is difficult because we actually do them so rarely.

Guys where cool like cucumbers.

Get thereitis!

i misssed your videos

ATC Outta' Control

I guess I thought the heads up could see through the weather. No?

👍☑ Tks Sean!

Have you ever flown to Shannon or Dublin Ireland? How about London Heathrow?

@corporatepilotlife how do you get your sound feed into the go-pro? is it from audio panel #3?

Didn't know Christopher Walken was a corporate pilot.

4AS behind you sounded just like Harrison Ford. Maybe it was.

TOGA!!!

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate…

Oops that you can talk about later, are good oops.

Fantastic video

Nantucked area is always foggy, remember John Kennedy crash.

Hi Shawn. Haven't seen you in a while. Glad you're doing well. As to the error, I caught that something was missing, but without the checklist in front of me, I didn't know what it was. In retrospect, it was odd for the PF to call for gear. I guess when you hit the TOGA, gear comes under "Aviate" and the A/P under "Navigate." May that be the biggest mistake any of us ever makes! Wow! Descent right down to minimums! "Well done, team," indeed! That GE looks slick! I like to imagine what rich Whales are drinking it up behind you. Given the destination, I figure some lobbyists or minor politicians. Have you seen the Scott Perdue video of the GE with a dual engine-out emergency? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMdTn6BacL4.html

Love the calllout that the autopilot will click off on go around. I've seen far too many scenarios where this confuses pilots.

They landed their plane in Nantucket... Visibility - like soup in a bucket. As the Tower got louder, They flew through the Chowder, So, both pilot and crew shouted [fill in the blank]

Your content is always superb! Those conditions were brutal. You and Donnie worked terrific together! Any chance you could please do a Tech Tuesday on the HUD in the Global Express?

Great video ! Great learning ! Appreciate you !

Wow, 20 seconds between runway sighting and touching down. Well done!!

First time in my life I've ever heard a pilot say "I wish the cloud layer was thicker" 😂😂 Great vid, thanks for the ride along!

Didn't know they had an airport long enough for a global express.

Excellent teamwork guys, well done. 🙌

After the go around, then the tension of minimums and "in sight!", it was like a suspenseful big budget movie. I was on the edge of my seat!

Wow! That was some bad visibility! I am not a pilot so I had no idea any mistakes were made. I'm amazed you could figure out where the runway was through that pea soup!

Been watching your videos since I was fuelin jets! Now that some dummy lets me fly them I hold these vids alot more closely. Thanks for all your transparency Sean!! It helps guys like me really put into perspective what it means to be a professional pilot and hopefully (one day) emulate it! I operate out of FXE hope to see you around!

Glad to have you back. Not a pilot but really enjoy your videos. How is the Vette coming along?

As always your are the professional…both of you. Great learning lesson . That really shows how good you guys are as a team.

Excellent Teamwork! Like you said, learning from the mistake is the most important thing.....I do appreciate you sharing this because most would not. This gives other pilots a chance to learn as well. As always, great video.

In addition to the missing positive rate call (and I'm being picky) you also missed the go around radio call which the PF ended up making slightly adding to his already high workload. GAs are stress inducing and always put pilots in a state of shock for a split second even if they were expected. Cool humility and learning experience. Thanks for being so transparent and sharing I always hate taking the 190 into ACK and MVY when the weathers doing island weather things.

Nantucket, They don't call her The Grey Lady for nothing!

Apart from the that mistake you explained, we all learn from our mistakes. You guys did well to get the Global back up quick, Thanks for showing us the go around. 👍
