  • @ Steve29112: They made a susscesfull second landing.

    @ 1993GOS: I have no idea but the pilot made a quick decission to go around.

  • Its Bae RJ 85. The pilot mentioned that the wind was too strong, so he aborted the landing.

  • I was just wondering how the BAe 146/RJ's can do go arounds - shouldn't the tail speed brake make the plane stall when they try to go back up?

  • did u divert

  • @alexorangesailor Thanks for pointing that out. I stand partially corrected. I've done some research and found that planes are only allowed to use thrust reversers when there's a clear and just reason to do so, otherwise the airline gets penalty points added to them.

  • @happyguy82 I think youll find that planes are allowed to use reversers at london city, look at any video of the ba a318's goign in there, and besides the Bae Rj seies of jet featured in this video dont have reversers on them.

  • @oktal3700 yes correct and to make matters worse, planes are not allowed to use thrust reverser to brake during landing so they need even more runway than they would at any other airport. This is due to noise regulations around Docklands.

  • @Bulanluna2007 yeah that was probably the right call. there's no room for error at LCY

  • Wow. You know the approach into City is almost twice as steep as most airports.

  • More like a touch and go, the wheels seemed to touch the ground there.

  • love it!
