Should still be a mayday, even if 2 go-arounds. If fuel is low enroute, we have a 3% enroute alternate to be used among any other available alternates at anytime.
I couldn't imagine a 3rd go around and there is no fuel to flow to the engines. 1900kgs, will last until first flap retraction after gear up. This A340-600 uses 1000kgs on the take-off run. I wonder if this is going to shoved under the carpet? Unbelievable, and these guys got to operate back?????
Taking out 2 runway lights at JFK gets you grounded for a while, and a pax back to AUH? On that scale what should a landing with 1900kg's get you???? One case is illegal if no mayday/emergency declared!!!
