Boeing B747-200 - PIA go-around

[SemperFiScout79]

wind was only 5 knots.....

[TheSaadAhmed125]

probably why Europe banned their 747's..

[AlevliTurkGs]

its worth to about 20000 dolars tink tink.

[teeelooo]

retracting the gear with landing gear problems? Not a usual procedure!



[TheA380fan]

jep really great video

[ramprashad29]

beautiful....professionals at work...

[WUYINLIANGPIN]

perfect landing .......

[Michael55443]

Pakistani airlines? You'd never get me on that plane!

[ecrdab747]

@Michael55443 And why ? because you are more special than everybody else ? drop the tension !

[Michael55443]

@ecrdab747

No, because I'd probably end up in the ground on fire from a bomb. Yeah, I went there.

[mkg00179504]

@Michael55443 and who wants you on it,

[Michael55443]

@mkg00179504 Like I care. LOL

[mkg00179504]

@Michael55443 NO U DONT, thats why u are here watching PIA videos, and guess what i am not surprised.take care

[Michael55443]

@mkg00179504 I'm watching PLANE videos, just happened across the PIA one. Sorry, stereotypes are usually based off of actual behavior. Turn on your TV if you don't believe me.

[mkg00179504]

@Michael55443 no ur wrong,because ur an idiot, and ur dismissed.

[TheElephant79]

These Vids are insanely great !

[Byron10301]

The ATC lady sounds so sexy :) 

[neilzep]

CURRIED GOAT FARTS ACCUMALATE

[flytohamburg]

"windy day"??? it's only 4 knots...

[TheHalofreak92]

where did u get he tower voices?

[filipino0614]

I notice the landing gear lights on the right wings is now working...Maybe that the reason why they have to go around?

[MyCoolguy1000]

boring

[FSXGuy1]

You aren't Simon Lowe

[marcosbolinha1]

ou mai god

[sepholdem]

after watching this a few times - i recon the pilot just messed up , he almost stalls for an answer twice- strange to get landing gear warning so late - and he was so confident that every thing was ok for second aproach

[fightingtemeraire]

@sepholdem I reckon it was just the gear down light not going on, but they cycled the gear back up and down then the gear down lights came on. Gear doesnt do down until final, and then its a few seconds from putting the lever in the gear down position to all the green 'down' lights going on. They would have had an automated warning of "TOO LOW, GEAR!".

[addi138]

@sepholdem no even the manchester ATC was hesitant whether to allow the plane full of terrorists to land there..lol

[Jrcarmello]

Unsafe landing gear light...that was the main reason. Probably the gear was down but not shown as locked.

[lepper24dudes]

what airport is this?

[stewyshaw]

haha at 2:16 it looks like the outside left wing has disappeared

[giib]

should of kept fookin flying out of here .

[karlbladen]

4kts?? windy?? think it was warning for the landing gear!

[CRsBeem]

Winds was only 4 knots. Issue was clearly the gear.

[simonwien61]

Great video thank you for sharing

[viniciuslegal]

big flare

[KillTheBlairs]

The plane smelt of big-stlye shit even before the passengers all shit themselves due to the go-around!

[ckelly202]

That would be due to all the paki's curry stench

[kungkeno84]

That's a nice landing.

[KenanVideos]

Nice nice landing

[esh1]

nice tail

[alainjrd1]

It's amazing to see how carefully and gently the captain managed to touch down on the second approach-

I know its reasonably easy in a GA aircraft, but I consider it exceptional work considering the bulk of the 747.

[BerlinBunker1]

Looked to me that he had not captured the glide scope and had to perform a missed approach.

I have done it myself in days of yore.

[brgimscht]

why does the woman ask the pilots the reason for the GO AROUND?

[MABurns888]

I Believe that they have to record all go around and she wanted to make sure it was not an emergency.

[iltex74]

There is no a specific reason for that. It's up to the controller whether to ask or not, usually for traffic avoidance or coordinating the emercgency vehicles. Looks strange though that the crew just noted that the gear was not locked down properly in an earlier stage of the approach. Gears must be down and locked well before reaching the minimum. I would rather believe it's a GA for being too high on the threshold...My 2 cents.

[eskercurve]

I agree, the pilot must've not had his F/D on or something and attempted a visual approach, or maybe he let it wander too much. It did look high for the vector he had.

[pcpilot96]

its the air hostess

[ArmyofSeaturtles]

because she needed to know if the plane is ok or if there's traffic on the runway that the controlled is unaware of,...etc.

[AirbusA330Pilot]

i think she had to know if she have to call the emercency services. she asked it a little bit later

[Flyglobespan93]

Brillliant Landing! Interesting when he said that the landing gear light never illuminated and there was a gear warning

[4brigade]

Pakistani pilots are one of the best pilots.....

[vdbniels]

Sure, in order to hit buildings. xD

[lekrasuhaki]

@4brigade yh they crashed into the world trade centre!

[8justin88]

dont u just hate go-arounds! i fly on a flight simulator on my computer and i eventually had to turn off "other traffic" because they would be like 20 ft in front of me....then i have to start all over again!!!!!!!

[TheAark]

If its microsfts flight ismulator try using the air traffic control or the ATC. Just press the Headphone button in the cockpit. Then request a landing by contacting that airport. You wont' usually have problems then. Its quite fun to, realistic!

[8justin88]

it is...but i use the flight planner and use IFR and every time there a stupid beechcraft or cessna...they just go too slow...i mean im doing about 140kts and they are doing about 40kts...so...i run over them

[jlebesis]

haha I know what you mean...its nice to have traffic on but its not too realistic. You should try flying online.. Very professional, everyone flying is of a high standard, and the traffic is properly maintained by real ATC, so you dont have those issues as with the computer traffic.

[jastar08]

very smooth landing!

[uriahms]

Could it be that reason was one big fat lie. If there was an unsafe grear warning why did he retract the gear so quickly? Should he not abort landing with the gear out assess the situation contact ops for advice maybe do a flyby or even recycle the gear? Why retract it so early if it may have a problem? Seems strange to me.

[Sajberjohan]

If he´s making a go around he wants the gear up asap to minimize drag.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

Its good how the pilot spotted the problem quickly, not all pilots can do that! =)

[Aipl15]

these were experienced pilots !

[alongo34]

good choice

[jetstreamone999]

I guess the ATC guys were in little too hurry to know the problem. They shouldn't have been. As it is very clear that when you are cleared for landing you are also cleared for go around. One can go-around for any reason. Good landing though.

[trekster1]

They like to know ASAP incase there is a problem, hence the continued questioning. Also if its a busy traffic pattern, a lot has to happen to get a plane back in line for the runway.

[jdub81sbm]

Damn near perfect landing if you ask me. Pilots definitely know how to handle the yolk.

[Shreytherockstar1]

yoke

[MsLidia9]

beautiful

[MsLidia9]

Thank you very much

[Minseito]

I was on a KLM jet going in to Athens, Greece, when the same kind of thing happened to me in 1997. My girlfriend saw some of the crew later on the ground near baggage reclaim and asked them what had happened and why the plane had so suddenly gone into a steep climb only a few metres above the runway. The crew said that seeing as there was a big airplane on the runway dead ahead of them it seemed like a good idea. Straight up. lol...not

[Mobius000001]

Stupid pilots...tower (2 people) had to ask them 4 times as to why they went around.

[cedarjet707]

Describing the problem to ATC is not a priority. They tell the tower WHAT they're doing, that's enough. And, fly the aeroplane. Once the problem has been diagnosed, then tell ATC. PIA pilots are pros, and you, Mobius, clearly are not.

[jmorgan93]

ATC asked twice... and the second time they told them... general rule of thumb for pilots is "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate"... fly the plane, navigate where you're going, then tell ATC the problem... the first prioritiy is making sure that the plane is ok and flyable, that it is safe for the pilots and the passengers, then ATC learn what they need to know. Also, the pilots say afterwards that an undercarriage light wasnt working or something along those lines... wanna land with no gear? gd luck

[Mobius000001]

Wrong...they were asked by 2 different ATCs, a total of 3 times. 1st some dude asked, then the chick asked which they answered to but confirmed their heading instead of answering the question that proves that they DIDNT understand English and then the chick asked the third time to which they answered..."unsafe landing gear light" as if they were reading it off of something instead of answering the questions spontaineously.

You feel me?

[jmorgan93]

Did you read what i said? "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate"... where they're going is more important than why they went round... its an international airport thus there are lots of other aircraft in the vacinity so whether they continue on their heading or not for the go-around and approach is more important. Its nothing to do with understanding english or not because english is the internationally recognised language for ATC comms. Also, you have checklists for certain procedures.

[jmorgan93]

And furthermore, if the pilots did not understand something they have to say "repeat that please" or "confirm *this or that*" etc.. there is very specific phraseology to which they have to follow which they do. Tell me, how much do you actually know about flying? Evidently not enough. "You feel me?"

[Mobius000001]

I dont give a shit what you said, you are trying to dodge my analysis below. I proved to you that they had poor to none communication skills and sometimes, people from certain cultures try not to ask again because they think its embarrasing. Which is not true in North American culture.

[boeingt]

u have no idea wat the heck was going on at the time in there. and u cant be infering things just from the audio. so plz b quiet . how about it.

[tomibewi]

@jmorgan93 amen to dat brudda :-)

[birudagmawi1]

2:46 , I don't know but one of the landing gears looks a bit...off...

[jmorgan93]

thats what they say the problem is.

[mikey0118]

A windy day? Air traffic control gave the wind as out of 120 at 5 knots. That's nothing!

[SteMhr]

He say 40 knots..

[GriffieRex]

Great landing in the end!

[Mathiiiiiaas]

LOL its manchester airport.. i can hear it on the atc, in manchetster for another video... LOL!! ITS THE SAME MAN IN ATC!

[zero6655]

how did you make this video?

[wale43703]

One hell of a touchdown.

[mulang4u]

i love pia... anaver.. forever....

from: Barcelona

[trancebeliever]

crosswinds = rejected landing

[jsb4life]

The wind was only 4 knots.... I bet one of the gear lights did not turn green.

[AreaQNH870]

unsafe gear indication

[xtremebounties]

he was descending fine onto the runway and dropped the aircraft at 100fpm?...

funny though how he said "unsafe landing gear bla bla". was as if he was reading it from a book

[sillyorangejuice]

wow fab landing

[superf15kid]

yay pakistanis tht was a good landing

[xxEVH5150EVHxx]

Amazing!!!

[crasc222]

I agree with GeorgeNCL. Anyway, Simon Lowe did awesome work on filming the beauty.

[MBfilmer]

Hmh... Not as well landing as it could be... Still OK, but it seems that pilot is quite new :)

[aleksas5555]

Why was this badly rated :S -6?

[MBfilmer]

I don't know, because this isn't a great landing. It isn't. Too much overflying the runway and lowering the nose. Reversers applayed too early, also. The glide path was bad although it wasn't so windy.

[Shakemagroovethangg]

How can you say thats a bad landing? You have no idea about the glidepath. You can not tell properly from this video anyway. Only if you have landed a Boeing 747 300 at Manchester then you will know. Also you can't even see wher the TDZ is so you have no idea if it was a long float down the runway or not. It was a smooth landing, the spoiler were armed, the reverse thrust came in quickly enough. I've been on many flights where the pilot doesnt use the reverse thrust till your about half way...

[Shakemagroovethangg]

... until they were half way down the runway. They try not to use reverse thrust because it results in engine wear, so if they think they can suffice with only spoilers and wheel brakes then they do, but if they think that prehaps they misjudged their braking power, they apply reverse or Idle reverse thrust. Anyway, it was smooth, i assume it was centre line as there was little rudder movement. No one died. Good landing I say. The passengers would have been pleased in the end.

[AddictedFreakie]

This is a great landing . if you fly a plane i rather jump then MBfilmer

[iseverythingalie]

He's actually right; it's not that pretty of a landing.

[GeorgeNCL]

This isnt your video, unless your Simon Lowe

[Jojoairbus]

That could be. But I have found this video and I wanted to share it with you and everyone on YouTube!!!

[drsheikhjunior]

Thats nice of you. :)

[FSXGuy1]

@Jojoairbus

It isn't your video

[Jojoairbus]

@FSXGuy1 Where do I say that this is my video?

[darcougar]

@Jojoairbus You should give credit to the owner, otherwise it's still basically stealing. But i appreciate you sharing it

[nimzajafari]

great vid. how can you listen to ATC?

[dirtyFabster]

well you need a ..scanner...you can buy it

[Dudeboy4000]

although in alot of contries, they are illegal. Im planning to buy one to listen in next time i go to MAN

[TTTTPPPMMM]

Awesome ! Cool with the communications !

[katlvsf1]

cool, thanks. communications make vid. :)

[TheDragonseut]

Good vid thx; But bad that we cant see why he abort?

[Jojoairbus]

Because the main gear doesn´t work.

[mistaxray]

It was just an "unsure" landing gear light!

[mistaxray]

Sorry I meant "unsafe" landing gear light!

[Jojoairbus]

Yes you are right... :D

[Jojoairbus]

Yes you are right... :D
