Land, go around, abort go around.


Megan. I have never seen that report before. Thanks for the above link to the mind-blowing 727 accident above.

For those readers whose eyes may glaze over and decide they can't be bothered to open and spend a few minutes studying the link such as that sent by Megan, then think again; for the information supplied by the NTSB in that report could be invaluable.
Nowadays the only aircraft accident flight safety information available to newly graduated CPL holders is usually from Flight Safety Australia magazine available on-line only and of a general nature among the flashy graphics.
That said, there is a whole host of other flight safety accident investigation reports available with a modicum of browsing on applicable internet websites. They don't necessarily have to apply to the specific type you are flying.

The NTSB investigation stated: According to the captain (of the crashed 727) he preferred to operate visually whenever he could. He indicated he had more faith in his eyes than he did in the electronic guidance devices provided for his use.
