Aborted from Birmingham England, 777-300ER. Flight #039, check out the flight path on FlightAware. (www.youtube.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is what professional pilots are paid for!!! That approach looked well under control...it appears that he/she was holding the centerline and at the point where it didn't feel good anymore, he/she 'went around'. Fantastic! Well Done. Demonstrating as well that there is NEVER a moment in the approach and landing that you cannot execute a missed approach. If more 'so called Pro Pilots' wud swallow their egos and 'go-around' there wud be a lot less CFIT incidents to embarrass us all.
Well said
Actually it seemed that the plane was lining up with the left sideline of the runway rather the the centerline, would likely had a lot to do with the decision to go around. Had the plane been lined p with te centerline or slightly favoring the right sideline, there may not have been a call to go around at all.
Well, I bet that's where that wind came in. He had a horrible amount of CRAB cranked in there and the wind took him on over, necessitating the goround call
Yes, of course it's the wind that caused all that, and the reason we all watched the video.
The pilot had to keep the plane reasonably on the centerline. The wind may have been the reason the plane didn't stay on center. That would likely be why the plane went around.
The approach seemed stable enough, but if the pilot misgauged the wind or gusts put the plane in an unintended position, that would cause the go around.
Any pilot who's flown in strong winds, or boater who sailed in strong winds or kayaker who paddled in strong winds knows that in strong winds, there are strong gusts that can make the wind variable and unpredictable.
To my eye, the plane seemed to have drifted too far left (maybe gradually, but quite far out of position) just feet from the ground.
If one looks at the video, the engine thrust from the spool up blows across the runway, which shows how far out of position the plane had drifted by that point (just before the plane jets up away from the ground).

* BTW - by left I mean port side the pilot's perspective as the plane lands, not of the of video viewers (we see plane the plane go right).
