Pilot Decides Too Late To Go Around

[@JacobNascar]

That late go around was SO close to being a tail strike!

[@PragmaticDany]

Dude forget about that, a runway overrun is my personal nightmare

[@TexasDustin2135]

I still don’t understand why there is no provision for the wheels to start spinning before touchdown to reduce the speed difference and consequent stress to the tires. Not a motorized solution, just one using the airflow.

[@joebeastyg5686]

3 Minutes of Awesomeness. Every time. This channel and series is what the Internet was made for.

[@Leonardokite]

That first one with the major bouncing reminded me of my check ride. Here I am a student flying a complex aircraft known for being very unforgiving on landing. I bounced a couple of times and throttled out of it for a go around. I then landed it very nicely. I passed. The examiner felt that my decision to go around was a good one and greasing my subsequent landing was the icing on the cake.

[@JohnSmithShields]

747 pilot decided flares are for wimps.

[@richspillman4191]

I was on a 737 where the Capt didn't use flaps on landing and the guy in front of me asked the Capt about it as we deplaned, he said "Flaps can make a bad pilot good, a good pilot great, and great pilots don't use flaps..."

[@sakatan1985]

He probably had a sudden flashback of night landings on an aircraft carrier.

[@VictheSecret]

Flares are for lightly loaded aircraft full of self loading cargo that complain if the landing isn't butter. Banging a fully loaded cargo aircraft down doesn't need so much finesse or sympathy for the hold contents.

[@richspillman4191]

@@sakatan1985 He was an Desert Shield pilot. A lady was screaming about flying on that flight and capt sat with her and told her that once we take off, she would not remember why she was scared....we took off and made the hardest left banking turn I've ever experienced, then he went full throttle until we got past Bakersfield, we flew from San Fransisco to Ontario in less than 30 min, they didn't even have time to serve drinks...the lady didn't make a peep the whole time we were in the air. That's when the guy in front of me asked the pilot "You didn't even use flaps at landing..."

[@chrismacku8471]

Fly Navy 😅

[@Rodmachoman45fr]

Normally the spoilers would activate upon the main wheels touching, however, I never saw them activate, which may be the reason for the go around. The spoilers, or spoilerons, are located on the top of the wing. Once they activate, the lift is "dumped", and the airplane will no longer "float", or become airborne. My guess is that they were never armed or activated, or they may have malfuctioned..

[@budm9982]

Oh man! Good ones this week. What in the world was that “go-around” pilot thinking?!?! Couldn’t believe what I saw.

[@wilfreddv]

It almost looks like a touch-and-go training flight.

[@ianjnunan]

@@wilfreddv agreed, spoilers were not deployed, if you touch the runway its a touch and go, if you dont its a go around, simples

[@thomasaltruda]

That first landing.. someone forgot to arm or deploy the ground spoilers!! Oops!

[@pilotpaul7347]

Wow. Great observation. That pretty much accounts for the float and subsequent decision to go around. It probably took them a while to realize it. They would have been cringing as the far end of the runway rapidly approached

[@thomasaltruda]

@@pilotpaul7347 well that and they never went to idle, flew the nose to the runway and deployed reverse..

[@JeffGreenNV]

@@thomasaltruda They didn't deploy reverse, and you can't tell if they went to idle or not from a youtube video.

[@MarcPagan]

Classic error -increasing pitch angle after a bounce. 777 pilot Juan Browne/BlancoLirio channel has some excellent videos on the subject.

[@EdOeuna]

You are meant to increase pitch after a bounce and subsequent go-around. However, that pitch up is meant to be accompanied by an increase in thrust, which didn’t seem to be the case here.

[@MarcPagan]

@@EdOeuna Hmmm...with a jet, not good. Spool up lag. Piston? The method you note works just fine ....rescued many would-be renter's botched landing during a check-out that way.

[@EdOeuna]

@@MarcPagan - I don’t fly the 767 so cannot comment on this aircraft’s performance directly, but on the 777 those GE90’s spool up quickly enough to result in the baulked landing procedure only taking a matter of seconds from fire walling the thrust levers to initiating a rotation.

[@MarcPagan]

@@EdOeuna ...I'm envious ..on my CRJ two decades ago, I had to get out and push above FL240 to continue a climb :)

[@lbowsk]

@@MarcPagan Spool up went away with the 727. Modern FADEC engines are considered spooled at idle. That was a hideous flying display. A 767, even fully loaded has insane capability. And after it's flown across an ocean (and burned off a third of its takeoff weight) it's damn near a glider. No idea what went on here but it was ugly.

The landing speed of a 737 is about 140 to 160 knots. Just imagine the shock on the bearings as the wheel goes from zero revolutions to approximately 2000 RPM in a split second. Just one quick puff of smoke and those wheels are spinning at full speed. 2:35

Not enough room to safely to brake and bring the aircraft to taxing speed, especially if landing on the cross runway at Zurich which is about 2/3 length of the other two.
