Go-around at AKL, Thur 2nd.
Does anyone know what/who/why did a go-around at AKL abouT 1400 on thurs?? on approach on 23.
Looked like a twinjet, 737 or larger, my bugsmasher was too far away to get a good look. Seemed to do a very large circuit, came back and landed.
Just curious, virtually zero wind and 80k's plus viz.
Cheers

Don't know but assume you're confused by the virtually zero wind and good viz.
Mrs C had two go arounds the other week, in similar conditions. The first was because a cabin crew seat belt was jammed in the cockpit door and said cabin crew couldn't secure them self for landing. The other was (and I'm guessing here based on Mrs C's description) due to not being stable on the second approach, which appeared to come of a quick night circuit.
The point? There are many causes for a missed approach.

Yeah I saw that as I was walking into work, its was a Domestic Qantas 737. Dont know why, but it went around really early, was well over 1000' about the threshold. Perfect clear sky with zero wind....
Maybe someone took to long to get off the runway? Someone interfered with the ILS? who knows...

No one ever asks when I do a go around!
Usually I'm either not stabilised, or to farken high....

My expert opinion would be that said aircaft's flugershclep valve was stuck in the override position when, in fact, at that stage of the flight, should have been selected to alternate standby... Luckily for the crew, they spotted the mistake and averted a near disaster! Well done mystery go-around aircraft crew!

Poor LocoDriver,
You have had the piss taken out of you a little. A fair enough question though really.
As previously mentioned a Go-Around is a "normal procedure". It is a non reportable event as well, you do not need to put in "paper work" after a go-around. Obviously in some regards to stop crew from thinking they don't want to get in trouble or create paper work so they will push a bad situation which should be resolved by a go-around.
Also as previously mentioned, external and internal factors: another aircraft or vehicle etc on the runway or unstable (high and or fast etc outside company requirements) approach.

Go-Arounds are always company reports.
If its found to be a gross pilot error due to him being a half-wit, that can lead to disclipanary measures. I cant recall FJ doing any go-arounds at akl last year though.

To go, or not to go-around that is the question
Why do people ask about aircraft go-arounds as if they are bad things?
Is it because you genuinely would like to know why aircraft conduct go-arounds?
Perhaps you could do a Google search and type in the words go-around, missed approach, windshear, CRM (and any words you can think of to do with landing aircraft) and see where that takes you.
Then I can understand that you are just trying to learn more about flying, and that is a good thing.
So more importantly, what happens if you don’t do a go-around when you should?
Google search this.

good grief,
I thought asked a simple question!
Yes, I am quite aware what a go-around is, I have been flying for 39 years.
I simply asked details about this one , it is not normal at AKL in the middle of a perfect day.
Thanks, now we know it was a QF 737.
Go-arounds by 737's cost $$$, unless they were training.................
Companies watch $$$$ very closely, and ask questions as to why.
The last one I heard of was due to tcas going off .............
Cheers

Airline I used to fly for was questioned (criticised?) by CAA for not doing enough go-arounds!
Happens all the time, at all airports and at all times of the day. Nothing "not
normal" about it. Could be anything from an ATC instruction to a flock of birds.
