That was just a go-around, nothing to worry about.
-
Yeah, I'm 50k in the hole just from the flight training. Eventually, it'll pay off. Hopefully.

@MaroonCamaro believe me i know :P

Mostly the regionals. Starting out at 20k a year is BS especially after the debt you rack up from flight training.

@ryanhaart To be fair, I think these people had experienced something a little more out of the ordinary than a simple go-around. Although the video doesn't show the pilot saying it, it's clear he mentioned a "microburst", meaning the pilots probably had to execute a windshear escape maneuver. These are can seem fairly radical (for a commercial jet) due to the violent nature of windshear. Furthermore, microbursts pose a very serious threat to aircraft, having caused several crashes in the past.

@ryanhaart LOL!!!!
-
cool! microburst!!.. a strong downdraft created in a thunderstorm.. sort of like a tornado in reverse but with no spinning actions... pilots (especially airline pilots) are trained in how to handle them.. they are extremely dangerous to aircraft... wikipedia it on your smart phones, people:)

@777aircanada why wouldn't it make sense? the storm cells were probably over LGA, but at JFK they were experiencing better conditions. And wouldnt you rather divert to JFK from LGA than all the way up north at Stewart? I'd say the pilot made a smart decision to land as soon as possible and in safer conditions

A microburst is a tin can of beans in a microwave oven for ten minutes full power. Don't try it at home.
