It's quite a common thing, nothing to worry about (or make the papers)

 

Would this be something that happens on a daily basis and would it have made the news if it was just Joe Public on board

 

Does anybody actually care?

Take a look on aviation herald, far worse things happen every single day that don't make the media.

 

Oh come on, of course this is an incident worthy of all media attention (and a post in the wrong section of SN) as there are footballers involved!

For goodness sake a scare like that might have caused them to break a small sweat or mess up their hair... it's really very serious

 

The crew will care as they'll have to fill in a load of paper work, and the company will care as the profit just got eaten having to burn the extra fuel - other than that, nobody gives a flying f%ck.

 

Technical term : Go-around.

Happened on a few flights I've been on over the years. Never mentioned in the papers.
**** gets a bit twitchy when it happens though, as you don't really expect the engines to go on full power and the plane to pitch up hard during a decent.

So all a song and dance over nothing; For example, it still amazes me that so many people don't know that a plane will going into a steep (controlled) dive if the cabin depressurises. If that ever happened to a footballing primadonna, they'd be sh*tting bricks

 

Not the Man Utd players Ali they are used to diving

 

Man Utd fail during normal time & get loads of extra time to have another go.

Nothing new here.

 

I think the connection is being made to this incident and the death of the Busby babes in Munich air disaster in 1958, both in Germany.

 

I've been on a plane that had to do that because the plane hadn't cleared the runway and funnily enough it didn't make the news News must have been a bit quiet that day

 

Really?I would never have guessed that!

1) It was Cologne not Munich

2) The plane was landing not taking off

3) The plane didn't crash

4) It happens many times in aviation, nothing to see here

 

like it

 

I was on an A380 that caused a temporary closure of Heathrow's runway 27L earlier this year. The steering failed as we were exiting the runway and the back of the plane was still overhanging the main runway. I thought something was up when I saw the next plane due to land perform a go-around, followed by the next and then one more.
It's quite common, as said - it probably happens a couple of times a week at major airports.

 

See, I've made you learn something about football, Google really is your friend!

 

Er I have lived in Manchester or the area since 1983so it's pretty hard not to know the details of the Munich crash as they stuill go on about it to this day.... no need for Google on this one!

 

Oh, and don't try to lecture me about aviation, we live on the flight path at Manc Airport and every time there's a 'go around' there goes another tile off the roof!

 

so because Rio Turdindand tweeted about this its made front page news

wow

 

Maybe the sudden change of direction made the cotton-wool fall off all of the prima-donnas on board.

I bet they were all rolling around on the floor, clutching their ankles, trying to get a free kick.

 

Rio Ferdinand tweeted: ‘Landed in Germany....just...I've only just recovered after that choppy landing.’

Clearly he has never flown with Ryan Air - one of thier landings into Belfast City would shatter his glass spine.

Was on a flight a fortnight ago which had to abort its landing into Belfast in high winds - it was good value for money, as take off and landing are the most enjoyable parts of the flight, considerd it 2 for the price of one. Was made more entertaining as my colleague is nervous on aircraft.

 

I don't mind Ryanair flights, although I've never been to Belfast, maybe those pilots still think there's a war on

The ones I really don't like are the BA shuttle flights between Manchester & Heathrow, they blur the divide between landing and impact more than any other flight I've been on
I bet landing on carrier isn't even that brutal

 

Probably the only time you will get to feel the real power of the modern jet turbine engine is on a go around. Light aircraft, big dose of power and then flaps retracting - will feel like a rocket ship to most people for a few seconds.

 

They don't seem to have much luck with taking aeroplanes to Germany, maybe they should get some tips from the dambusters, bum, bum.

 

I don't recall every being on a commercial flight that had a go-around, but I've been on one where both de-icing systems failed just after take-off on a transatlantic from Seattle. That was interesting as we circled around at low altitude for about 30 minutes, below the cloud until they worked out what to do, deciding to go to Detroit. They found a hole which meant we could descend without flying through cloud, although I expect there were other factors involved because ice would still form on a freezing wing just from the humidity in the air I guess. (it was proper crispy cold in Detroit)
The captain volunteered the information that we would be landing with a heavy fuel load and there was a possibility that we may run off the end of the runway if the brakes overheated and packed up. The more general announcement to the passengers was not to be alarmed by all the fire engines and things with flashing lights that will be lining the runway when we come in to land; it’s just precautionary.
All turned out well in the end, the only real difference I noticed was the prolonged use of reverse thrust and the roll.
I don’t know how common something like that is, but I was primed to be jumping out my seat and heading for the exit if it had gone wrong, but not quite butt twitching.
It never made the news 

 

Where do you live (roughly)?

One problem with Mobberly or Knutsford is the flight path. Also there is a massive incinerator being built Lostock which is upwind.

 

Never been on a TOGA, just the one incident where a flight ingested some gulls at Aberdeen and had to shut one engine down and go back and land.

 

I believe the term you're looking for is "they still remember them to this day"
