Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Plane battling winds at Heathrow nearly topples over

A go-around, also known as a balked landing, is an aborted landing of an aircraft. It could be conducted when an airplane is on final approach or has already touched down. When the pilot is instructed by the air controller or decides to perform a go-around, the pilot applies full power to the engine(s), adopts an appropriate climb attitude and airspeed, and raises the landing gear. It is a safe maneuver and occurs 1-3 per 1000 approaches.

On January 31, BA flight 1307 was on approach to London Heathrow from Aberdeen, Scotland. During the final landing, the Airbus A-321neo was caught in intense winds and was almost flipped over. The pilot aborted the landing and performed an emergency go-around. It landed safely only 16 minutes later, and no one on board was injured. It sounds like just one of those safely performed go-arounds but the video shows differently.

Enjoy watching the video and learn about this supposedly safe but actually scary moment.
