Wind Shear Go Around Perth Airport Western Australia QF765 an A330-202 VH-EBJ on the 20 March 2023

[@DrBearAviation]

Nice catch of this kind of rare event. It was such a wobbly approach, and the reaction of the pilot is an excellent demonstration of professionalism.

[@jialinang8270]

I experienced this twice, both at Perth airport. Wonder if this happen often or I'm just unlucky 🤔

Nice Catch of Perth Airport!

[@shirleyellis9708]

Super, enjoyable. ❤

[@bartvanleeuwen3842]

Thanks Jamo! Great views of Perth! Appreciate the post!

[@qfa330]

Perfect clear day for an airborne tour of Perth and Jandakot Aiport !

[@paulfromperth5713]

I’ve been to around 18 airports in Europe and Asia and Perth is the worst for rough landings and takeoffs. I also worked there putting food carts on planes and the wind made the job very difficult, quite a lot of times.

[@jamovideos]

I too have had many a bumpy landing in Perth over the last 40+ years. Tends to be better at night as I assume the wind is more consistent.

[@the_littles7928]

Always wobbly and bumpy coming into Perth. Bloody hate it haha

[@rocnoir4233]

I experienced this on my first ever flight which was from Melbourne to Adelaide during the scorching summer of 2013. Went from terrified to thrilled within a matter of seconds.

[@matthewcumming9135]

I remember a flight from Melbourne to Perth 10 years ago where we had to go around. Plane was blasted to Port suddenly and off we went shot up into the sky really quick. The G force was amazing. The view was even better! 😏

[@marklobosco7323]

Happened to me just a few days ago on the 28th of December! Exact same air craft and conditions ! the pull and g force when you pitch back up is insane ! I shit bricks admittedly but it was cool ! It was the bank to the left and fluctuating thrust that got me worried !

[@jamovideos]

Yes Mark, insane is a great description of how it feels and when you look back down it is amazing how quickly they climb out to 3000'. Thanks for the comment.

[@elwoodroadsmusic9639]

Magnificent catch! I often wonder how much our gusty easterlies affect landings. I've seen a go around once on flight radar, even better caught on film!

[@pa1264]

Nothing wrong with a bit of a bumpy ride and wind to accommodate the fun in the air before landing the worse one I had going into Melbourne airport cloudy windy day couldn't see anything until we're about to land awesome job by the Pilots

[@pjamajones8304]

Thats a very long wide go-around,, but nice views😊

[@RiverDanube]

That was interesting

[@cptmallu]

If your flight go around, you must be lucky, because your pilots didn't horseplay with you life :)

[@jamesgovett3225]

Two particular occasions stand out for a pretty bumpy ride for me and both in the past the first travelling from Melbourne coming into land at Wynyard Airport in Tasmania where our plane, an Ansett F-27 Fokker Friendship was being tossed around during a storm that popped up and even some passengers were starting to scream! Coming in from the East but the pilot gunned those 2 RR Darts and up with the gear and we circled out over the sea a bit before the Captain said we were going to try again from the West which proved an uneventful landing this was around 1977, the second time was travelling again to Tasmania about a year or two later when half way over Bass strait during a quite pleasant flight also in a Friendship I got out of my seat when we had one almighty bit of turbulence that pinned me to the ceiling for a moment with things flying everywhere but just as well the inside of them were relatively small, since then I have always had my seat belt fastened on all flights since

[@Bristolcentaurus]

the howling easterly = TOAG party

[@nikolauswolff5791]

Normal procedure. No reason to worry. The windshear warning system says " windshear windshear " trough the hot mike in the cockpit and the pilot flying pushes the TOGA take off go around button.

[@Yeiwbshjsks]

“Windshear windshear windshear” - 3 times

[@huskkyy]

@@YeiwbshjsksAnd no TOGA button on the A330, you just firewall the throttles into the TOGA detent

[@Yeiwbshjsks]

@@huskkyy No shit….thats very basic airbus stuff.

[@milfordjohnson2289]

hehe i had to watch this a few times to understand where the windshear was... as it is an invisible and unpredictable downforce... it is often far more predictable in adverse weather though. heres the thing: the windsock appears to be around the 30 degree (~15knot) crosswind mark during the the first attempt... and the second time round it was around ~60+ degrees... ill call it 30 knots in order not to be pedantic about it. all this put together makes your video interesting. im actually going to try the runway 3 approach in the simulator under the same conditions manually and then with the horizontal ILS lock and see what i get. it seems odd after a go round like they they didnt just go for runway 06 but im sure they have their reasons :) (no sarcasm.. chat gpt just spat out a max 36knot full 90 degree crosswind rating for an a330x at full flaps). thanks for the video!

[@paulyjones3966]

Try 2 air pockets. One after both we had lost 5000 ft , brown pants big time back in the Ansett days

[@FelixExplores]

Nice video and amazing capture! May i ask why you are doing a go around? was there a emergency?!??!

[@jamovideos]

No emergency just a change of wind direction or speed that caused the go around.

[@FelixExplores]

@@jamovideos okay

[@haroldlipschitz9301]

Go arounds are common in wind shear conditions. No emergency necessary

[@oldtimer2192]

Where was the actual go around?

[@BusaRider86]

I was on this flight - despite being generally smooth....a large number of people started vomiting at the back.

[@perthplanes-ho3lj]

hey, great video! what seat was this?

[@jamovideos]

Thanks for your interest. I was seated in 38A. Cheers

[@Sepheron44]

Wasn't a missed approach, pilot just clearly wanted to take the scenic route approach instead haha jk jk

[@videoconcord]

you must of gotten tired of holding onto the phone for hours filming. The go around is the safest way to go. Pilot have to do a lot of preparation before landing and make wise decision especially working with Air Control Traffic.

[@buuntaa1986]

"Short Final for Runway 03" Approach started at HARMN and then TIMMY. Thats more than 15nm out. There's no short final about this approach.

[@neiltinley4858]

Agreed, the approach wasn't a short final approach. Even so, when you're on final and within ~3-4nm from touchdown, you're considered to be "on short final".

[@HoratioPerth]

Why such a massive diversion just to circuit around?

[@stronzer59]

Alan Joyce would have been fuming losing another 4 tons of fuel and profits

[@malcolmpearce1]

I hope they did not charge for extra milage Ha Ha
