Incident at Heathrow

[Megaton]

I'm with NoD here. There wasn't a dire emergency. The wing wasn't burning through, for example, or a double engine failure a la Sully. There was some urgency to get the aircraft on the ground but there's no point rushing into an approach at an unfamiliar field to stuff it up. At one of our flight safety days we discussed an incident (no names, no pack drill etc) where an airborne return was rushed with inappropriate/nonexistent briefing with the end result that they ended up high/fast and a go-around. Do it once, do it right.
