Aborted Landing Lufthansa 747 & go around at YVR Vancouver Airport April 25 2023 4K

[@DavidM2002]

I've lived in Vancouver for all of my 70 years and never get tired of these sorts of views. The last 20 minutes flying into YVR on a clear day can't be beat.

[@ghostrider-be9ek]

views on a nice day are amazing, but I would never want to live in GVRD ever again - 26 years is enough

[@yvrtravels]

I agree, I've landed several hundred times into YVR from almost every angle and it never gets tired

[@alexli_14]

Haha good that you posted this video, I was working that day Airside, I witnessed that 747 aborted landing, the pilot landed the aircraft slightly past the original touchdown spot for 747.. and the aircraft was carrying too much speed, probably not enough runway space and unable to make it stop. Good call by the pilot, safety is the first priority

[@yvrtravels]

yes it did seem like we were bit farther along the runway than what felt like normal. on the landing we touched at an earlier point on the runway.

[@manighale5607]

@@yvrtravels I had similar that air canada 777 aborted landing in Montreal and pilot said we just missed the approach and going around, some could be heard yelling in back ground and he immediately changed his announcement saying "sorry I don't have time to explain all but we will be landing shortly", it might have been a near disaster but no one knows what happened.

@@TS-qd2uj Yes, from high above everything looks pristine and inviting. It’s the same thing in any major city I’ve lived in including Austin, Portland, and Seattle. Pretty sad we live in a society where it’s not safe traversing in downtown areas trying to admire architecture or eat in restaurants minding your own business only to get harassed by beggars, homeless encampments, someone yelling on street corners, or stepping around needles and defecation on streets.

[@lkat5113]

@@TS-qd2uj this is happening in Toronto now. Not safe to go downtown anymore. I remember how bad downtown Vancouver was during my trip there about 2009…lots of safe injection sites etc…it was very scary, especially in Gastown. Never thought I’d see it here in TO

[@wellingtonaviationchannel634]

I was in YVR from New Zealand that exact day and I'm pretty certain I saw a 747 go over my hotel away from the approach flight path. Also when I was in Toronto I saw a 747 go around on flightradar, funny coincidence. Awesome video keep it up!

[@yvrtravels]

Thanks, I’ve had a few aborted landings over the years but this was my first in a 747. Surprisingly quiet and smooth

[@fortythreenorth2518]

Well that missed approach sure gave you some amazing views. Few places more beautiful than Vancouver on a clear day. I had a missed approach at YVR once on an Air Canada A330 from Toronto but it wasn't a beautiful day like this and I was in the middle aisle.

[@yvrtravels]

I've landed many times at YVR, but that was definitely one of the most scenic approaches I've ever had. And two approaches for the price of one!

[@ianinvancouverbc]

I caught this flight on approach[ not sure if it was first or second] on my cars dashcam as I crossed over the bridge. I noticed specifically after watching Paul Lucas' video the day before about how LH are the only ones flying 747's

[@yvrtravels]

It's definitely still an amazing plane even if it's a bit outdated compared to ones like the 787 Dreamliner.

City tour of Vancouver by Lufthansa!

[@viscount757]

Date in subject should read April 25. This happened April 25,, not April 26. Re the text on the screen at 9:45 mentioning "runway touch", it actually never touched the runway as seen in the other video from outside the aircraft. Came pretty close.

[@yvrtravels]

Thank you for letting me know, I have corrected the date.

[@mauriciomartinez8373]

Plane went too far beyond the touchdown zone. It is mandatory that the pilots abort the landing and initiate a go around as there is not enough runway to safely stop the plane. If you go past the Canada Post facility and you haven't landed, you went too far, especially for a big plane.

[@SquawkCode]

They were sent around because another plane had not exited the runway.

[@sedinmagic1591]

Damn near didn't get it on the 2nd try either

[@dwmzmm]

Great video! I can see why the first landing attempt was aborted, the pilots must have felt there wasn't enough runway space for deceleration safely, seeing how close the end of the runway was at the end of the video. Excellent decision on the pilot's part.

[@yvrtravels]

Thanks, I wasn't expecting to video an aborted landing when I started to video tape the arrival. I was worried my battery would die before the go around and landing completed. On the second attempt we did end up pretty close to the end of the runway. I did wonder if that was the reason as we seemed to touch a bit farther and faster than usual for landings on that runway with 787 and 777, which don't need as much runway as 747.

[@omrail]

Announcement said the runway wasn’t clear. Based on when it sounds like the plane landed it was further down then ideal touchdown point. approximately the middle of Canada Post.

My sister’s Lufthansa flight just did same thing 4-25-23 landing in Frankfurt. Something about tail wind speed being outside of their parameters. Pilots said nothing during maneuver and passengers were definitely surprised.

[@yvrtravels]

I've had a few aborted landing experiences over the years, but this was the first time in a 747. Definitely a surprise when it happens.

[@viscount757]

This was the April 25 flight. The date is wrong in the title. Should read April 25, not 26.

Yep - it’s busy up there on a go-around and not much time to chat to the passengers. Lots to get done and set up for a 2nd approach

[@janetd5317]

Great video, thanks ! Years ago I was on a 747 landing at YVR. Unfortunately the weather was very bad, torrential rain.. seems the ILS went down on final and the pilot couldn't see the runway...pretty scary ! We landed ok on the second attempt...

[@yvrtravels]

thanks, wow that would have been scary in bad weather especially if ILS was down. at least the weather was perfect on this day.

[@louisstennes3]

If he was non stop from Frankfurt I bet his fuel tanks were getting down there. Lucky he didn't have to divert or go around a third time. Anyway beautiful clear day.

[@yvrtravels]

It was a non stop from Frankfurt, I think he would have been okay for a few more attempts with fuel. Not that I wanted to keep trying again! :)

[@louisstennes3]

@@yvrtravels The reason fuel is something I think about is because I was a C47 (a DC3) crewmember in 'Nam and during the monsoon season landings were tough. One time our A/C aborted the landing twice due to weather. Going for the 3rd time he said "this is it, get ready for a water landing . If we don't go in this time we'll be in the water." Pucker factor goes up but that sticks with me to this day.

[@yvrtravels]

@@louisstennes3 wow that would be scary to hear on a flight!

[@louisstennes3]

@@yvrtravels Well thank you, but in 'Nam we were really well trained for emergency and survival situations and that was nothing compared to taking ground and anti-acft fire. That's a story over a pitcher of beer (not BudLight thank you very much!).

[@ianinvancouverbc]

what is the object flying through the shot at 8.48 ?

[@yvrtravels]

I'm not exactly sure. I'm thinking it's a large bird as it's obviously moving but no sign of wings flapping unless it was coasting. Unlikely a drone as it's restricted airspace and it would have to be a fairly large drone to be seen

[@peterwbryce]

Based on the video the landing touchdown seemed to be pretty close to the first touch and go. Perhaps there was another reason for the go-around?

[@yvrtravels]

I felt the final approach was farther down the runway than normal, but there may have been another reason. I couldn't see the runway/taxiways unfortunately on the go around

[@yongdongyou3128]

you can also point out UBC and Stanley Park.

[@WINGSANDRAILS]

Had an A350 Lufthansa abort once at YVR in 2018

[@erlidominus8233]

While it clearly was the right call for safety, how much did this go-around cost Lufthansa?

[@The6zero4]

I don’t know who put in the captions and place names but very few were accurate and at NO time did the flight get near Downtown Vancouver.

[@citetez]

What? From about 7:10 to 8:40 downtown was right in the middle of the frame. Your assertion that very few captions were accurate is equally incorrect. There were a few misidentified places, but in general, and re downtown specifically, you're just wrong.

Why aborted the approach? I'll don't understand the cabin crew...

[@yvrtravels]

supposedly the runway wasn't clear, but do not know why or what.

[@trellaine201]

Hmm just watched. I guess landings aren’t automatic? Their manual?

[@yvrtravels]

My understanding is almost all landings are manual. Planes can land on auto pilot, but there are strict conditions to use it and most pilots don't.

[@juliemanarin4127]

@@yvrtravels yes they are

[@MetaFootballTV]

Almost all pilots prefer to manually land as it is recommended for/as training and so as not to rely on autopilot.

[@andrewp6307]

The autoload (CATIII) is usually for poor visibility conditions, the majority of landings (still ILS CATI and CATII with vertical and horizontal guidance) are usually flown manual from the last 1000ft or so

[@Mike7478F]

Too deep

[@Nonoatfirst]

@@yvrtravels I don't think that controllers in Canada can clear an aircraft to land if the runway isn't empty (they can in the US, which is crazy). This airplane had definitely received a landing clearance.

[@yvrtravels]

@@Nonoatfirst the consensus seems to be the landing was bit too far in on the runway, making the landing potentially unsafe to stop in time so the pilot elected to go around to be safe.

[@merc340sr]

Nice clip. I've never been on a plane that aborted its landing...it would feel a bit weird...

[@yvrtravels]

I have experienced it a few times over the years, usually because traffic not clearing the runway ahead in time.

[@acsimpson2633]

Good afternoon everyone (UK time GMT+1:00) aircrew do not abort a landing. (Take-off can be rejected or abandoned). In the case of a landing being unsafe, the crew elects to ‘go around’. The term ‘abort’ was quietly replaced in the 1960s and 1970s out of respect for the many female Air Traffic Controllers, the word was deemed too insensitive for obvious reasons.

[@citetez]

[Insert rant about self-appointed, semantically ignorant, language police wannabes here]

[@threeparots1]

Seemed fairly high on the approach..late touchdown and go around I image. Plane still on runway also doesn’t help.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Some airlines with thier policies have become super paranoid about people filming and taking photos on board flights, even when written permission has been obtained in advance, it’s almost like the official secrets act has been breached, they claim that filming the approach and landing interferes with the instruments for landing as a reason for refusal and they don’t want flight attendants to be videoed on camera

[@yvrtravels]

I haven't seen any issues so far filming. With the relaxing of using small devices like tablets (in airplane mode) during landing I think it would be very hard to stop everyone.

[@TheMainsheet]

Hopefully the pilot doesn’t get a pay reduction for the cost of the extra fuel required for the go around, , the 747 consumes over 2000 gallons of fuel per hour, great video though!

[@whaleoilbeefhooked3892]

The wings appear teensy small relative to the TREMENDOUSLY HUGE fuel tank capacity required for long burn durations (distance).

[@alanw.4511]

First landing attempt was the first officer. Totally unstabilized approach. Second landing was by the autopilot doing a cat 3 ILS auto land.

Honestly that airport is so sketch. Everytime you fly in especially at night all you see is mountains, water, bad weather and the runway obviously is much shorter than most international airports.
