Onboard Go-around at LAX: American Airbus A321 (With ATC)

[@TheFredismShow]

That was incredible! Thank you for the ATC too. I lived in Venice back in the early 1990's and saw a couple of go-arounds, and it always looked weird to see a plane that low having to bank and accelerate quickly like that. The pilot here seemed very calm and collected and the ATC seemed to handle this very professionally as well. Great video!

[@noelphilips]

+Fred Herrman Thank you so much! Wow very lucky, nice to be so close to the sea and the airport :) Did you see the recent go around video at Lukla, Nepal? That looked scary!

[@TheFredismShow]

No I didn't. I will definitely look for it now. What amazed me too about your video is how quickly the pilot had to react. I would imagine that after a five hour plus flight from New York, everyone, the crew, the passengers, and certainly the pilots, are ready to set the jet down and de-board. And though I know the pilots have to always be very alert, there must be a feeling of, "Okay, let's complete this final approach and hit the head" kind of feeling inside them. So to have to quickly pull up and turn north with such little space left must feel like taking on a whole new cycle of flight that one would rather not have to execute.

[@noelphilips]

+Fred Herrman Yep absolutely - at one point you can hear the stress in the pilot's voice as he is dealing with ATC on the go around. Very professional too in that he ensures that TOGA is set and calls that before responding to ATC.

[@sundevilification]

A nice unexpected trip out over the Pacific Coast on a clear day was definitely a consolation prize.

[@LottiDotti76]

Amazing capture. Love the included ATC. The pilots and ATC have my utmost respect. My cousin flies for Alaska Air. What a job that has to be.

[@babolo]

The pilot sounded frustrated :( . I love your videos! Keep it up please.

[@noelphilips]

+babolo He sure did, and under a little stress on the radio too. On the full video I'll be pushing out next week we get stuck in a ground queue after landing, and he comes on the PA sounding very stressed and annoyed at the whole situation!

[@mikepocock5130]

Great views of the urban sprawl that is L.A. on a relatively smog free morning. I liked the way the pilot said, almost as an aside, minimum fuel.......i.e. don't make us go around again!! Thanks for sharing and happy landings (without go arounds!)

[@ifly7777]

U do know that all planes have more than 30 minutes of fuel? Before declaring Mayday Mayday Mayday

[@CollaredDom]

@@ifly7777 It's mandated minimums FOR A REASON. And, no, I'm not going to explain the reasons to you.

[@joetocayo]

At this time, runway 24R was closed for construction. You can see it on the go around. There are two sets of parallel runways. 24R and 24L on the north side, 25R and 25L on the south side. Normally the outboards, 24R and 25L are used for landings, and the inboards, 24L and 25R are used for takeoffs. Since they were down one runway on the north complex, they were trying to fit aircraft in with minimum separation to move the traffic normally, and they just got too close. An A-321 close to maximum landing weight using flaps 3 can have an approach speed of around 150 knots. The tower asked him to slow, but they very well may have been at their final, or slowest speed already. Most other Boeings and Airbus narrow body aircraft can slow down towards 130 knots using full flaps.

[@noelphilips]

+joetocayo Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! I kind of thought it was due to the runway being closed, interesting to hear about why we couldn't slow down enough though. We ended up having a long wait on the ground as everyone was taxying in the same way, we had a 20 minute queue to the stand :(

[@ifly7777]

I experienced a even late go around. The main wheels were already down when the pilots performed a go around due to tremendous rainfall during moonson season

[@noelphilips]

That sounds like awesome fun, would love a go around like that :)

[@JaydenWong]

Awesome video! So lucky that you were filming this for us!

[@noelphilips]

Thank you, glad you liked it :) My first go around and as yet my best one yet :)

[@cattleman36]

When we fly, we are among professionals. Well done to all involved. Human fallibility is a given, but correcting and immediate response that comes along with practice and drill is so important. Great work by these ATC and pilots. Thank you for safeguarding us in the air. (now if you could just give that silly little 20 year old cuttie pie who is texting on the 101 a vector out of my collision path I would be even more impressed. LOL)

[@noelphilips]

+cattleman36 You put that far more eloquently than I could ever do, well done! :) And yes, after listening to the ATC afterward I was massively impressed at the professionalism and textbook handling by the pilots and ATC (regardless of how grumpy the pilot sounded :))

[@BloxyGamezAV]

That's crazy the go around

[@seat1aaa]

How can seven people dislike this video. Perfectly done along with ATC.

[@noelphilips]

[@TheFredismShow]

Such a cool video. The go around gives you views you don’t normally get.

[@danieleregoli812]

What a lovely video. Great upload! I hear AA's new 321s are really nice... They certainly seem to be quiet and smooth... Not much noise coming out of those big fans when spooling up for go around..

[@noelphilips]

+Daniele Regoli Thank you! Yes it was a really nice aircraft, very comfortable and more like a long haul seat than a shorthaul one, with seatback touchscreen TVs, wifi etc. Very quiet too - although I imagine the go-around would have sounded louder in front of the engines :)

[@bbarrowsvegas]

I'll add my thanks as well. I never get tired of the view, especially on days like that!!! The ATC audio makes it even more enjoyable!! 😊 ✈😊 ps ... you made this LA (SMO) native extremely happy when I watched this, as I have not been able to fly home for some time now.

[@noelphilips]

I absolutely love the power of these planes! I work at fedex at bishop airport in flint MI and watching the planes land and take off never gets old! I have to ask are you a pilot?

[@noelphilips]

[@anavgeekspassion5727]

Good video it was done professionally well handled

[@noelphilips]

Thanks! Yep amazing to hear how professional ATC and the crew are in this situation.

[@LennardA320]

7:20 What is that little bright white thing like flying low to the water in opposite direction of the plane when the plane is in a right turn. It is too small for a little plane but it isn't absolutely not 'a Balloon' because it has a lot more speed than a typical ballon would have moving trough wind. Strange, already an old video so maybe it's already in the comments somewhere. But if someone knows or thinks what it is I would like it very much to hear it!

[@pbateson]

Great video. Go around is a rare. Heard the AA got mistake send A321 to Hawaii from LAX.

[@noelphilips]

Thanks! My first go around on a commercial flight! I heard that too, they have ETOPs and non-ETOPs ones and I think they sent a non-ETOPs by mistake!

[@pbateson]

+inflight Video You are welcome. Yeah AA was mistake. I guess the Etops were brand new on A321. Your plane from JFK was non-Etops?

[@noelphilips]

Yep non-ETOPs. AA have only 16 ETOPs at this time (N118xx to N133xx); this was N103NN :)

[@fnordranger]

+pbateson Are they rare? I inadvertently caused one the other day, a Southwest 737 was behind me for landing, and my approach speed was just too slow. ATC had them go around, when they caught up to me as I tried to clear the runway as quickly as possible (which wasn't fast enough). I kinda wondered how the pilot explained that to the passengers. Kind of a trip having a 737 right overhead, too, in a little Cherokee.

[@dominiquestephenson195]

inflight Video -nice video & ATC! I subscribe. For those like myself who were wondering what ETOPs is I looked it up. Its kinda like what we used to call "blue water ops" in Naval Aviation. Its for aircraft flying routes where the nearest suitable emergency airport is at least 60 minutes away. (For the Nav it was either the boat or the water, no other bingo options in range). ETOPS means "Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Standards" and type certification as such requires about a dozen systems to meet more stringent endurance requirements to ensure sufficient diversion safety on these routes. Examples are (for the A321), extra fuel tanks, 3 electrical systems, tougher APU, Airframe & Engine combinations proven capable of meeting these requirements, Good OEI (one engine inactive) flight characteristics, etc. The AA A321S sent to Honolulu was non ETOPs, (A321H designates ETOPs certified). AA stated that although non-ETOPs, that airframe was exactly the same configuration as their A321H's except for the required extra medical oxygen and the extra fire retardant requirements of ETOP. AA stated the range and fuel was the same as an A321H so they must have installed the extra fuel tanks already. The return flight was cancelled so my question is did AA have to certify that A321S to a A321H before they could fly back to LAX?

[@noelphilips]

[@AppealPlay]

Normally I'd be displeased because of the delay of going around but in this case, the lovely view of the California coast would be worth the hassle.

[@noelphilips]

+AppealPlay Yep it was definitely worth the hassle - I had a huge grin on my face when we went around, to the point where the guy sat next to me was like 'I hope you got that on video' :D

[@drfaustus72]

The funny thing is that his routing from the go around and the right turn straight over KSMO at 5,000 is extremely close to the Special Flight Rules Area that goes from KSMO over LAX midfield at 3500-4500 (and in fact to the bottom of Class B which is 5,000 right there). In the SFR area you have GA aircraft that are not talking to ATC threading the needle. LAX tower must have been pretty certain there was no one coming through or into the corridor.

[@noelphilips]

+drfaustus72 Yep we actually flew over the top of a light aircraft over the bay area - ATC mention it and then you see it passing way below us :)

[@terks43]

This happens at all Class B airports. In fact regional approach will vector us below the Bravo going into DFW from time to time.

[@GSOaviator]

That was more than a half mile final when they cleared the guy for takeoff... the controller was trying to "shoot the gap" but obviously made it a little too close.

[@noelphilips]

+GSOaviator Yep I think so, they were down from 4 runways to 2 so had to squeeze everyone together.

[@GSOaviator]

Half a mile separation isn't even legal... It looks like it was about 4 miles when the takeoff clearance was given :)

[@kyliedrinks1]

I experienced my first go around last night in Atlanta. The pilots didn’t communicate to us why but thanks to me watching several Mayday episodes in the past, I knew exactly what was happening . I still want to know why though 😂. Nevertheless we did a second approach and landed safely

[@Marmazard]

Experienced my first go around 2 days ago in Charlotte. It took a good while for the pilot to tell is what was happening, which freaked alot of people out the guy next to me started verbally freaking out which mad e me nervous even though I kinda knew what was happening because I've seen so many of these videos. Thats why staying calm is important

[@650CA]

nice landing on try #2

[@DBR00]

Upon listening, I didn’t get the feeling that the pilot sounded annoyed. I personally think he handled it very professionally. I think he had to stay focused on the task at hand and wanted to give quick responses so he can remain attentive.

[@johnfowler1627]

You can't really get annoyed. As a controller in the Los Angeles Arrivals area of SoCal TRACON, I probably saw, on average, 2 or 3 go-arounds during my work week. It just happens at a busy airport. The alternative is to waste a mile on every single arrival, which would result in far more delays.

[@Robbie1075]

Did ATC order the go around? And was it due to traffic on the runway? I thought that's what I heard but I am not exactly fluent in pilot-atc chatter so lost who was who.

[@ryantapley6844]

Whoa! By the time ATC cleared the aircraft to takeoff on 24L you were just over a mile out from landing. I think the tower should not try and "squeeze" departures in between aircraft landing when they are so close. ATC caused unnecessary delay (via the missed approach etc) for the pax of this flight.

[@noelphilips]

+Ryan Tapley Yep we were very close when they cleared the Delta to takeoff. If you listen closely the departing aircraft reads back the wrong runway too!

[@ryantapley6844]

[@joshuahandler5860]

I love the video and how you synced it to ATC! Got a question though; when I compare what the flaps settings look like on the A321 in Flight Simulator X to the flap settings in your video, it looks like the flaps are set to 3 in your video instead of 4. Setting the flaps to 4 would have let the aircraft slow down further and maybe prevented the go-around. Thoughts?

[@noelphilips]

Thank you, glad you liked it! Hmm I'm not entirely sure I haven't flown in FSX for a long time! I know they were having problems slowing down. I wonder if they were going too quick for flaps 4, they were pretty picky about the exact speed they wanted us :)

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

What happened to Runway 24R & Runway 25L, the two runways at the airport actually used for landings?

[@noelphilips]

+MegaAirplanelover They were doing runway work that closed them, so they had to operate all flights on the two runways. This is what caused the go-around as they were doing takeoff and landing on the same runways, and the departing aircraft ahead didn't get off the ground quick enough!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Who the hell cleared that departing a/c to 24L? WTF?

[@noelphilips]

They had a runway down for maintenance so were squeezing everyone in, I was surprised to hear they cleared the aircraft to depart while we were so close!

[@ledgrower4781]

Hearing the pilot say "minimum fuel" at 15:08 isn't a good sign... Cheers

[@patolandia666]

How did you hold the camera? Thank you! PS: When I fly, the assistants make you turn everything off u.u

[@JIMJAMSC]

KCAE 80s..We had a C150 doing t and gs and a Eastern 727 "yeah I'm a old fart" was on a mod base to final. He was told of the trainer on final and replied he was "draggin his feet" as it was. Well the 150 took his sweet time and the tower told the 727 to go around rather than blow the 150 off. All hell broke loose. Capt told tower " That just cost us more fuel than he will burn in a year!!" Tower gave him a # to call but Capt said he wanted to talk to him face to face. AND HE DID. Walked across the ramp and they exchanged words.

[@KuostA]

What does ATC mean by telling diff aircraft to taxi full length, respective to the situation/circumstance in this specific video/airport?

[@joetocayo]

+KuostA At LAX there is a requirement to hold short of taxi way F until receiving clearance from the tower when going to runway 25R. This is the taxiway just a few hundred feet from the end of the runway. When they did land, the third aircraft you saw waiting was at taxiway F.
