Aborted Landing - Ryanair Gatwick flight on Wednesday
Hope I'm putting this in the right place and it is allowed but think I've seen these type of queries before.
Was passenger on FR114 earlier today when the approach was aborted quite suddenly. After climbing quickly and a few turns pilot came on to say that a B747 had cut in ahead of us and we had to abort because of that. Started a new approach and landed after another 20 minutes or so. First thime I've been on a flight that aborted the landing. Always thought it would mainly be for other reasons if it happened.
Just wondering if anybody knows what was likely to have happened with this flight and roughly how often would an approach be aborted at a late stage because of something like this?
By the way got the same plane back this evening and despite us being nearly an hour late getting to the gate almost an hour late the plane made it back to Dublin bang on time tonight with one of the most entertaining Captain's i've ever heard.
