[@martinda7446]

A 'go around'. happens a lot on windy days. Anything that alerts the pilot or causes the aircraft to deviate from its expected stabilised approach will often prompt a go around. They have TOGA levers on the throttles which will automatically set go around thrust, they then come back and try again. Company policy at all airlines means nobody will be questioned on their decision to go around, for safety reasons.

[@LITTLEJET]

I know how a go around works but thanks

[@martinda7446]

Ha, ha OK, It was the title made me suspect you might not, sorry to be a know it all.- Wonder why he did go around? He looked OK. Didn't see much disturbance...Maybe he was pushed off the centre line or missed the marker by a distance? Do they normally land further down the field? @@LITTLEJET

Many years ago l was waiting at Toulouse airport for a flight, all the time I was there Concorde was doing go around testing………A sight to remember, fantastic

[@rosedervis]

Wow I would’ve loved to have seen that

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

When I was a very small child we were holidaying in Minehead in the English West Country. We were enjoying the Easter sunshine when we heard a tremendous aircraft noise. We looked up over the Bristol Channel and to our surprise we saw Concorde climbing. The white delta wing shape was very striking against the clear blue Spring sky. Apparently, Concorde 002, as it was designated was having flight tests from Filton Airfield, near Bristol. It occurred on the 9th April 1969, and I will never forget the sight of the beautiful, elegant delta winged aircraft against a cerulean blue sky. That last bit might be a little over-romanticised😊.

[@rosedervis]

@@mary-kittybonkers2374 Wow must have been so amazing to see that, that would never erase from my memory ever. How lucky! 😁

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

@@rosedervis Yes, it was amazing and it’s impossible to overstate how beautiful it was. Of course we have a completely different way of life now. We no longer need to fly across the world for a financial meeting or to collaborate on a creative project. Communication is instantaneous now for those with the resources to use information technologies and most importantly we have to consider the effect of Aviation on the climate and environment, so Concorde is of another time. Despite this she will hold a special place in Aviation History and in the hearts of the British and the French. I’m feeling very nostalgic now because this thread has taken me back to that little girl who was filled with excitement, disbelief and awe at what she was seeing in that April sky; and then later in the year watching with incredulity and fascination the Moon landing…just amazing.

[@lilcricket4379]

She was something ‼️

[@gmaneis]

Being a passenger on a plane that pulls up while being only a few feet from touching down is unnerving, to say the least. An air traffic controller error made that happen while wife and I were coming in to Houston in May of 2002. Pilot said the controller told him another plane was on the runway she had told him to land on. When he got on the plane's PA, you could clearly tell he was mightily pissed off at her. The loop around maneuver consumed the 20 minutes we had been given to change to another plane for the rest of our trip, but luckily, at the last second, we ran up to the gate and made the flight! Whew! In retrospect, running through the terminal sure beat being splattered on the runway in a twisted tangle of bodies, metal, and exploding flames.

[@mickb474]

Love the catch of the roundabout sign as the jet went on a go around!

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

Yeah, I thought that too.

[@charliegould5865]

Any problems on landing approach or something on the runway and the crew hit the TOGA (Take Off Go Around) switch on the throttles. This tells the aircraft to level the wings, apply takeoff power and pull the nose up, which it promptly does. They then go around for another attempt. In this video the aircraft looks like it had come down the ILS path quite nice and straight so it didn’t look too windy, and they were almost down when they initiated the go around. So it could have been either a training exercise ( which has to be done by new crew) or something hadn’t cleared the runway quick enough, which happens. I used to work at Gatwick and it was always interesting to go over to a certain vantage point on the airport and watch some of the approaches on windy days, I’ve seen loads of go arounds caused by the bad weather. One quick amusing story, while waiting for one of our aircraft to come in one morning we could see it on approach coming in over the Horley end, as it came down it suddenly went into go around. From where we were we couldn’t see the runway so had no clue why it had happened. When it eventually arrived on the gate I asked the captain what the problem was, at this point a very sheepish first officer walked off and the captain said “we were almost down and the F/O reached out ready to retard the throttles but accidentally hit the go around button in the end of the throttles and off we went”

[@speedspeed121]

I know nothing about planes, so take this with a grain of salt: it looked like at the last moment, the left wheel was higher than the right wheel. Look at 0:18 and you can see something happening

[@acreguy3156]

@@speedspeed121 Yes, you can see that and the wings continue to move up and down for a few hundred feet. Some nasty winds probably caused the go around.

[@GBuds_RVremodel]

Yes, you can see the port wing raise suddenly. It triggered the "toga"

[@datathunderstorm]

​@@jcsinca3387 Yes you can clearly see the port side gust that slammed the starboard side main gear...that triggered the toga...the pilot usually just catches up with the aircraft systems automatic response to the situation...good catch though.

[@forkoffgoogle]

It looks like a strong head wind kept the pilot from getting the plane on the runway with enough distance left to stop, good call on their part to abort the landing.

[@wcooman1694]

One time during landing in a pretty good wind the left wheel hit hard & came up. Then the right wheel hit even harder. I felt the plane jerk to the right as in no longer headed down runway. Pilot gunned the engines, pulled up and retracted gear. Once level at maybe 1000', he announced we were going around to try again. 2nd attempt was textbook. Flight attendant mentioned it was wind sheer. Definitely gets your attention.

[@davidf6326]

'retracted'

[@rosedervis]

Wow how exciting! Definitely wasn’t a boring flight then?

[@gmaneis]

I remember looking out the window as my plane was maybe 50 feet from the runway, gliding peacefully into Omaha, Nebraska, in 1977. In a flash, the plane plummeted. I remember that concrete coming toward me FAST as the pilot gunned the engines and managed to land. I was really grateful he or she was ready for that wind blast.

[@bmwtravel1100]

it gets your attention! but one scary airline moment I had at OHare (years ago) was violent roll left at about 150 feet as we hit turbulence from previous take-off of a heavy jet. the pilot immediately rolled us from about 15 degrees left, past level, to 15 degrees right, then back to level. His/her reflexes and awareness saved the day and turned it into a routine flight. Eye-opener!

[@jgdooley2003]

Only happened to me once but was too sudden and quick return to normal flying to be scared. I took a cue from the other passengers to not react loudly and cause panic, my usual default position in such cases. I read up about aborted landings and go arounds after that incident. High cross winds was the cause.

[@davidf6326]

[@joeycottontail943]

I was on that plane filming you..filming us!

[@easternpa2]

I flew a lot for work and used to follow my flights on Electronic Flight Bag EFB software. On one flight, a kid next to me was mesmerized as we watched the screen together. I explained how the landing might be aborted at any time until the countdown clock to the touchdown point reached 8 seconds. Sure enough, at 10 seconds to go, the pilot throttled back up and executed a go-around. I had already loaded up the go-around instructions, so watching us execute it right on the map was fun. Then the captain came up on the PA and explained the prior flight hadn't cleared the runway to his satisfaction.

[@SteveMonk1956]

That happened to us at Gatwick on and Easyjet flight, twice the pilot tried to land and twice went around landing at the third attempt. The excuse given was debris on the runway. I loved it, the wife wasn't so amused. 🙂

He bounced and the trajectory changed. If I had been the pilot, I would have chosen to go around also unless I had 8000 feet of runway left. Looked like a smaller airport, so he probably didn't have the extra cushion in length, so TOGA was the right answer.
