767 at LAX did a go-around today!
The mark of a good pilot(s). The passengers might expect every approach to
terminate in a landing, but no pilot should have that expectation. Bob Gardner "Yossarian" wrote in message et... I was listening to the LAX tower (south runways) on my handheld today at about 3:40pm and was surprised to hear American 297 heavy call "going around" while on short final. I followed along as the pilot reported a slats problem. Tower headed him to LAX VORTAC then outbound 235 at 2000'. Two SoCal approach controllers took him in turn, asking if he needed assistance but apparently they worked everything out and landed safely 10 minutes later. Pretty minor I guess but I've never seen or heard of a heavy jet doing a go around. Must have freaked some of the passengers out! |
