alank Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Is this what they call a "go-around"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumley Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Looks suspiciously like it might be just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Why was it performed so? Here are missing the circumstances of the situation. But, some considerations, and everything does not depend on the type of aircraft. If visual approach, simply making a turn up for the downwind leg ... If by instrument approach, there will depend largely on weather conditions and local topography ... and the air traffic volume at the moment ... Anyway, the total time consumed in a go-around may not exceed 45 minutes, otherwise removes the possibility of landing on the predicted alternative airport.

chumley Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The flight landed successfully. He was quite high - 2500 feet and not many miles from the threshhold and had slowed considerably presumably to lose height. Probably about 7 or 800 feet higher than he should be based on other approaches at the same point. second attempt was a real long approach for good measure.
