the aircraft made an immediate right turnout onto a downwind leg and subseqently landed on 09R, squawking 7700, after less than 15 minutes airborne.
Sounds textbook to me. Good job!
Also wondering if auto land is the preferred response in such a case ?
I have no idea if this a/c was overweight, (occasionally tanking fuel is carried) however I believe overweight autolands may not have been demonstrated on A320???
