For whatever reason when I look at this, I get no sound. So just going
on visuals this is what I think is happening: It looks like the flying pilot held the plane in ground effect until the engines started to spool at which time he dropped the nose and turned into the wind. You will notice that as the plane turned and the right side dropped slightly, there was a massive amount of soot coming out of the outboard engines. So as soon as the wings come level (with the plane now angled into the wind) that plane started climbing without the nose being pulled up (ground effect with full flaps?). Backing up, notice that as the camera zooms in, there is a bit of blurring at the business end of the engines. I believe that is when they were being spooled into full power. It is right after this that the pilot drops the nose, and if you look, kicks the rudder, gets the wings level, and then starts climbing in ground effect. Then you see the nose rise and the full climb begins. It appears that the decision to go around happened just as the camera is swiveling to follow the plane. Actually it is just as the camera has turned and is looking at about 45 degrees into the right rear side ("loose wingman position"). It is at that point that think I can see a wobble in the jet. It looks like imperfections in the lens of the camera and change in focus. However look a bit closer and you will see that the whole plane wobbles, not just parts so that things look a bit out of perspective for a frame or two (that would be imperfections in that case). And he just might have touched those right mains, it is really difficult for me to tell at that angle. Any way, that's my story and I'm stuck with it. Later, Steve.T PP ASEL/Instrument |
