- We go into a tight sequence at a major airport
- We're 2.5-3nm behind a smaller E170 airplane, with a lot of headwind
- We reduce speed as much as we can but the E170 goes about 130kt (or even less?) while with headwind, our Vapp goes from 140kt to 160kt
- We catch up with the previous airplane and are instructed to go around..
- If every pilot like myself has to perform a go around every three days, the airline might go bust
Which other airplane brands have a function similar to that of airbus ?
I'm particularly interested in the A220, ERJ, Boeing.
Thanks
Have you tried pulling the knob?
