Aerolineas Argentinas low level flyby on revenue flight
 
So, what do you make of this? Don't think it's been posted yet.

AA pilot on last flight - Miami-Ezeiza - prior retirement performs a low level fly past at Jorge Newberry with, presumably, a full load of passengers. Hands up all those who would give their their left hand or other part of the anatomy to do the same. And now, hands up all who would lose their left hand, pensions etc for doing precisely that.

Aerolineas Argentinas low level flyby on revenue flight
 
Seriously unimpressed I would have been to be held hostage for that as a passenger. Just land the blasted thing and go home. Why the need for exhibitionism!? You've spent your life presumably delivering precious self loading freight and now you want to risk it all with a stupid flyby, like the vain Concordia Captain? GMAFB.

Seen AF concords do it at LPL. Depart 27. 180 over the Wirral and low approach g/a on 09. with pax. BA Bac111s used to do " airshows " from MAN, with pax, again low apc and g/a. Pax loved it

Well, at least he got it right. :D

Flared a bit high, then went around. Perfectly safe procedure to carry out in such an event.
Think we've all seen or heard of the results of trying to get it down at any cost...

:D

It seems from the video it wasn't exactly "unplanned" & was (in effect) just a "Go-Around" with a slow climb. Nothing to see here, please move on.

Would prefer a Vmo/50' pass myself, but probably not worth the legal fees afterwards :=

MrMachfivepointfive 22nd Nov 2013 04:21

I remember when Pan Am said goodbye to FRA in the early 90s. After takeoff and a brief pattern, they did a Vmo low pass in a fully fueled and loaded 74. No cries of outrage then.

What's wrong with what he did? Is there anything inherently dangerous about a fly-by?

MrMachfivepointfive 22nd Nov 2013 06:00

Exactly. :)

CDRW 22nd Nov 2013 06:14

Exactly - but there are always the likes of Oilhead out there who think this sort of things is "dangerous". Good for this guy!!!!

Argentinian ego the size of his bank balance.

Unfortunately it was a non-rev flight.

The TAP A310 mentioned on previous threads is more like it.....

No, nothing can go wrong with a fly-by with pax on board, can it?

Oh boy there's some worrying souls out there! Looked bloody harmless to me in fact I was expecting a REAL low flyby not some sedate pass over the rwy dirty, almost an anticlimax!

Hotel Tango 22nd Nov 2013 08:37

Too many oilheads in this world :(

That was a perfectly safe go around. If you want to find something to criticise, how about?

That's the normal g/a climb rate for a 343 :E

flaphandlemover 22nd Nov 2013 09:19

we need like buttons on this forums...
great responses....
nothing to see... move on

But if this really did happen at Aeroparque (SABE/AEP) then there's no scheduled A343 service there -- that is the in-city commuter airport.

Long-haul flights go to Ezeiza (SAEZ/EZE) outside the city.

One thing to say it was just a go-around for fun and then proceeded to land -- another thing to have done it all at a completely different airport.
