That's an abortion you can live with

[TheVideoMaker2011]

Shit wrong airport

[DiamondPilotDan]

he had to abort because the twin was still on the runway. the guy in the control tower is seriously a dumbass for not catching that.. rather tell a light twin to go around than force a big jet to burn an extra $1800 in fuel .....

Who's paying? :) great clip!

' Hey , how you doin? Did you give Lisa her lunch already '

I dont thin they are calling other facilities

[foxtrot789]

@hiimkian lol you're just making yourself sound even more naive... "i've seen it with my own eyes, making phone calls on the job." Maybe if you 'heard it with your own ears' you could comment on their reasoning for their 'on the job phone calls'. It could be the case that they're are calling other facilities that monitor traffic advising them of various situations currently occurring. Do you think that because they discuss airplanes they must only use a Motorola style radio?

Shut the fuck up, I've seen it with my own eyes. They were making phone calls in the middle of their job? Do you live on st maarten? No . NOW FUCKING WORK IN A STRIPCLUB YOU GAY WHORE

That was obvious, they did proceed going around because the twin piston approach speed is so lower than theirs.

at 40 seconds you can see plane 1 on runway still

[4deere]

I would almost bet the tower told him to go around because plane 1 was not clear of runway

I'm surprised at how late they made the decision to go around. It's hard to tell in the video but it looks they were above the threshold before they aborted. I'm not sure how it works in the airlines but in the US Navy if the deck isn't clear when you're about a half mile out you wave off. Any airline pilots around here have any insight?
