The title of the video is misleading, but can anybody shed some light on just what on earth is happening here?

 

 

Thanks for all the great replies. Very interesting to hear your thoughts.

 

I saw about 6 come in on 34 in about an hour, 737, a320/a321 , including a Jetstar prior, ad a VA after this 737. Both of these obviously were effected by the X wind, but not to this extent.

 

I imagine this one will be discussed in the office of the Nation's Carrier

Does this mean this mean that this is a rare enough occurrence for the carrier to review it? Or does any go around warrant a mandatory review by the airline?

 

What are the thoughts on what kinda of announcement might come over the PA by the flight crew after the go around? I think pilots have a handy knack for understatements, and divulging very little. I agree with it, the travelling public don't need to know most details.

 

Also, what are the chances of "bash it" being accepted as appropriate radio communication?

 

 

Hi All, I am new here and while not a pilot, I am an avid enthusiast of aviation. I witnessed, and managed to film, a missed approach of QF427, a 737-838 on Tuesday at tullamarine.

 

 

At the time the wind was W @ 31knots, gusting to 35, this aircraft was attempting to land on runway 34.

 

The video tells the rest of the story but after seeing it I had some questions that hopefully someone with their wings might be able to answer.

 

Why with this wind would this flight not been given runway 27 for landing? 27 was being used also at the time, does this just come down to a congestion issue? (this flight did land on 27 after going around)

 

What does this wind strength need to reach before runway 34 would not be a viable option for incoming aircraft?

 

Any info would be great.
