787 bounce

Is that a boing 787?

Assuming the invisible link is a reference to the BA B788 at LHR yesterday, try Spectators Balcony here:

It looked like a well handled go around and was appropriate given the conditions. |
Looks like full elevator input as the nose dropped. That was some ugly shear.

That looks a bit crazy. Why would windshear suddenly pitch the nose down so abruptly? Fair enough the @rse drops out of it if you lose speed, but that was a violent pitch down. That was not the secondary effect of controls lowering the nose because the speed has reduced. Something fishy somewhere. Reminds me a bit of that Prune 787 (IIRC) video of weird nose down pitches on short final. Brother of MACS??

Yes I noticed that too in the picture from the BBC link... Personally I think they did a great job recuperating from the event and the go-around was the right decision.

Looks to me like he should have gone around rather earlier rather than try to save an approach that had clearly gone wrong.
But he was there and I was not so what do I know......... |

Didn't think to check for invisible link.
Clearly, they should have should have tootled around the coast a bit before diverting to MAN. :} |

True but there was a large down elevator input just before the nose pitched down.

As per the previous poster, the elevator is completely obscured until the pitch up input. It looks like a really nasty shear late on with an excellent catch and well flown windshear go around, hence the gear staying down. Nice job, stay safe out there. |
Reminds me of an incident easyJet had with an Airbus going in to Luton. FO under training for the left hand seat had a brain melt and stuffed the nose forward at low level. Not saying this is the case, but can’t be ruled out.... |
Jeepers....I thought the NFL season finished last weekend and in any event it isn’t Monday for a couple of days..... :oh: |
Approach in gusty conditions, wind does weird things! ****e got real very low level... Go around, perfectly executed! |
Windshear?
Or gust? Big difference! Does anyone have the Metar and the Tower wind when cleared to land. And any " wind check"? |
