EasyJet circuits and bumps
EasyJet A319s have been doing circuits and bumps at Shannon over the last few days, including today. I presume it's base training for new cadets. I was just wondering how Easy conduct their base training because i've seen their aircraft doing a number of go-arounds from low level and very low level.
Granted I didn't hang around and watch, but I didn't see any aircraft actually touch down.
Back when I was doing my FR base training, we always touched down, ran along the runway and then took off again after the flaps had been moved to Flaps 15. Certainly on my base training day, none of the 30-odd approaches performed by my group ended in a go-around.
Just curious.
