On leaving EMA today by car saw Tfly763 at 300ft before going round at having another go. Any ideas?

Bearcat I asked a simple question regarding an event I saw today. If you have nothing pleasant to say then remain quiet.

Bearcat, I don't think 757pilot has anything to be embarrassed about. You, on the other hand...

nothing unusual about go-arounds, busier you are, tighter the gaps, more chance it just doesnt work-or crew may not have been happy with the final phase of the approach-does happen!

757pilot - Don't know for sure but would suspect it was down to aircraft ahead still on runway. The weather was good today and they are usually on ILS when 27 is in use so unlikely to be an alignment issue.

i catered that aircraft today, was concerned to the reasons for its go-around, maybe it was getting confirmation by the tower over its landing gear (but that sounds too serious and there was no big deal). I reckon it just had a bad approach and so carried out a missed approach. The thomson fly wasnt late and no probs were reported on ground that i know of.

757Pilot, it was the 757 not the 763.
No problems with the gear/"bad approach"/ATC etc...
The go-around was due to a large flock of crows on short finals.

P.S. Such a shame when people try to be funny and fail. :rolleyes:

It's slightly disconcerting when a 75 driver thinks a 75 is a 76 !

Was the "large flock of crows on short finals" able to land safely, or did they perform a go-around too?

Were they squawking?

Ah good so the go-around was nothing to "crow" about? :O
ps Its nice to see a question asked and answered nicely - even though I myself have been in umpteen goarounds, they still pike my interest too when I see them occur
I think 757driver should give bearcat the bird!!!:D
