Well my most sincerest apologies Talparc but what has become of this profession in the ME especially?
EK A388 went around 3 times at MAN yesterday due to a RaaS issue with landing distances. In the end they diverted to LHR (approximately 170.319nm) which had an extra 300m landing distance! Incredible lack of common sense but I guess their top mgmt forced them to comply!
And 3 go-arounds... whatever happened to 2 go-arounds at the same airport before diverting? Have we not learned from MANX2? What about that Pakistani pilot who took 9 attempts to land a few months ago?
