    I used to be cabin crew with easyjet in 2001, they were great to work for. This happened a few times, much better to abort the landing in windy conditions, so the plane isn’t dancing around the tarmac like James Brown. Unlike Ryanair who take a more zero fucks given approach, and slam you into the ground like a dart 🎯

    • @LouisPrudhomme
      @LouisPrudhomme 3 роки тому +5

      Deciding to go around instead of landing means it is thought by the crew to be the safest option of the two. So believe me, you can be pretty much grateful that they do go-around 😉
      I understand you’re a nervous flyer, it’s OK, we all have our own fears. But think of it this way : it is actually go-arounds, delayed/cancelled flights (for weather, for a doubtful system parameter on the aircraft, etc), diversions... which make commercial flying the safest way to travel. I understand they’re all annoying & I understand a go-around itself can be a stressful experience for you, but try thinking this way.
      You have NO IDEA how safe the roads, for example, would become if all daily drivers had even a fraction of that rigour, discipline, human factors awareness, precaution, weather knowledge, appreciation for redundancy, etc.
      I hope it makes sense & helps you :-)

    Standard operating procedure when too many whales are porpoises are spotted sunbathing on the beach during final approach...this maneuver requires incredible attention to detail, reflexes, split second decision making, and experience from the pilot and co-pilot. Unfortunately, the vast majority of flight crew are unable to execute this maneuver due to lack of experience and passengers are simply left to their fate. The passengers on this particular flight are extremely fortunate as the pilots quick thinking and actions saved them from a horrifying vacation experience.

      Why would they want it? They're going around in turbulence (and potentially windshear) with a high go-around altitude. Santorini is a pretty hilly place! That's probably the day to use the power. LGW on the other hand, on a nice day when they've been asked to go around by the tower at 1500ft, fill your boots! Go around soft isn't a default, it's an option.

      @@gamesmore9169 Maintenance couldn't care less and it actually makes no difference to them. To engage soft go-around, you FIRST need to select TOGA so it is still classed as using TOGA, so the maintenance cycle wouldn't change one bit. Soft-GA is to limit climb perf where desirable (low stop alitutude in busy airspace), to improve passenger comfort, but not to save engine wear - though that is an added benefit.
      I imagine 95% of go-arounds on the A320 are done maintaining full TOGA power until acceleration. Only the newest ones have soft go-around installed anyway. Therefore the chance of any of us remembering to use it is virtually zero. That said, Santorini is definitely one of the places to avoid using it.
