Aborted Landing… Ouch

If anyone wants a rollercoaster ride, come into ABZ when there is a westerly wind in excess of 25 knots. I understand LBA can be sporting too, when it gets windy.

wow! that’s an amazing video. im sure you woud be pretty worried if you didnt know what was going on! he was sooo close to completing the landing too.

I too experianced an “Aborted landing” last Thursday onboard a BA Connect service from CDG to Bristol (we couldnt even “Go around” for another attempt due to 150mph head winds that had created something of a problem with fuel or lack of it!… that was down to “Wind Shear” as the captain put it, the worst he had experianced in his career to date.
I am an avid flyer.. but was flying with a collegue who was very aprehensive, we had to divert to Birmingham which was closed at the time.

I have to say the combined “Turbulence” and the mishap at Bristol was very scary!! But full credit to the Captain and Crew, ( the “more information as we get it annoucement” was brief with a then running commentary from the captain himself)
Not an experiance I would care to repeat in a hurry.

I had the same bad experience in Germany. The descent, aborted landing and landing were somewhat of a rollercoaster ride…. to put it mildly!

It was a flybe 146 from SOU to Bern, that was it says in the longer video.
I hate to hear a “crunch” in those kinds of situations 😮

Oops, that is quite evident I meant a go-around 🙂 I guess I meant to type “aborted landing”

The thing with the aborted take off is that if you leave it as late as they did here

It was a GO AROUND …….:confused:

The thing with the aborted landing is that if you leave it as late as they did here the engines will not spool up enough in time to alleviate the descent, hence why they hit the runway, it didn’t look like windsheer, if you look at it they had quite a high rate of descent as the airport came into view just as they neared the threshold which they did not abate, the TOGA was more than likely used as it is quicker than slamming the throttles open (but not by much), it’s generally a button on the side of the throttles themselves. If you have a high rate of descent, even with TOGA hit and a pitch up the inertia will still carry you down for a couple of seconds, which is when they hit.

My guess would have been an excessive sink rate close to the ground due to poor power management. The power was set to TOGA in order to arrest the rapid decent but a bit too late at the airplane smacked the runway before going around. I’ve never had a go-around out of that maneuver but I have been in plenty of carrier landings as a result of excessive sink rates close to the ground.

Well judging by the weather it wasn’t exactly perfect. As you say about the sink rate, I would have thought it was windshear judging by the ammount of throttle you can here from the engines as they roar into power. Not all aircraft use TOGA on an aborted takeoff, and im sure in a situation like that when there so low they’ll manually move the throttles. But hey, im not a pilot so im mostly likely wrong! 🙂

Not aborted – just “Ouch” –

And another few x-wind ones –

I wouldn’t have guessed windshear as it didn’t appear that the airplane was in anything more than light turbulence on the approach. In my experience windshear is associated with a bit more of a bumpy ride.

Excellent video, indeed the passenger does say it all; i cant imagine the tension in the cabin after that go around!

What a thump,the passenger in the background said it all eek:

😮 😮 Wow. One of the most dramatic videos I have ever seen. I love what the passenger says, must have been incredibly scary for them.

LOL @ the jolly flight attendant! 😀

Cool Video!

Ladies and Gentlemen, for technical reasons the captain has discontinued the approach into Bern.

Again im no (qualified) pilot but I would be inclined to think Wind Shear too.

At only 30-50ft surely if there is a technical problem it would be best to proceed assuming it was not a configuration technical problem or something that could inhibit the braking action or spoiler deployment?

Certainly was a bumb and a half, I’m guessing it was a BACON RJ100, or is that blatently obvious :diablo: :p. I hope it is now I’ve said that :D….

Reminds me of a certain members landing here on KeyPub! Im sure he knows who he is :p 😉

What me…?! 😮 I will get you back one day for all these sarcy comments :rolleyes: :dev2: 😀 .
