When Cabin Crew Scream....
Just got back from Zante. The outward journey landing,17/6/07 LGW, was not a good one for us SLF !
The first landing was aborted due to shear wind as we were in informed and the plane roared up and off and around (lots of bouncing about)
The second landing attempt seemed to be going ok, until the plane literally slammed down onto the runway (possibly about 10 feet but felt like 30). The front wheels did not touch down on this one.
One cabin crew member screamed as we dropped down, hit tarmac, and took off again, with trim hanging down from the inside of the plane.
On the third attempt, we landed in the opposite direction, and I think another pilot landed it (seemed to be a different voice on announcement) Is this a standard practise to let another officer have a go at landing after two attempts?
Lots of SLF being sick, and very very nervous people all round it seemed. Beer sales up in Zante that evening!!
Have you ever screamed upon landing through fright - it was not very re-assuring to a number of SLF...
