One is not enough for Pprune. |

Well if that's what they actually did then it's not a good capture at all.
Or perhaps they were just having a ‘little moment’ - when all of the normal words don’t come out of your mouth as coolly as they normally might. Because you’ve just had the bejesus scared out of you. As you know - it happens. |
Slingsby, I’m fairly sure the 787 technique is not control speed with pitch. It’s not a GA aeroplane. Pitch for glidepath and thrust controls speed. But 787 rated pilots won’t be coming on here to check the actions for a windshear go-around :ugh: |

I was vaguely puzzled by the “good capture” as well.

Commercial pilots exist in another financial reality to most of the rest of us. Try not to think of them in normal human terms, in my experience they generally don't reciprocate. They merely tolerate us and our limited abilities. Further, it is probably the most ‘checked’ profession on earth (simulators, line-checks, route-checks, medicals, CRCs, etc etc). Combine that with fatigue from worsening EASA FTLs, and they are worth their £110k, or whatever. And don’t forget, half of that goes to HMRC. |

The author of that remark has said it's a reference to the video capture.
It does indeed seem to have captured the event well. Not much scope for puzzlement there. |

Perhaps for those who did, he might be persuaded to rewrite it in words of one syllable, if asked nicely. :O |
Course you didn't :rolleyes:

No need to be bitter about it. If you’d worked hard at school, too, you also could be a pilot. |
I noticed a fair bit of discussion re "flaps up or not?" and it reminded me of a day spent taking pictures of the nice aeroplanes arriving at Heathrow. This was in April last year (5th April in fact). An approaching United 767 aborted his approach a mile or so to the east and went around. It was intriguing to watch as it did the whole grand tour around circuit with his flaps and gear down. Because of the nice gentle speed and relatively low altitude, it was possible to watch its progress around half the circuit and the wheels were never retracted.
This contrasted with the many go arounds I have seen at Heathrow when the wheels are usually retracted while the aircraft is still climbing out on the runway heading. |
