Re: Why I hate flying
Holy crap!
Of the people I know that don't like to fly, CP is the only one I know with a REAL reason to hate it. Maybe I can get her to post it.

go arounds happen much more often than you think, being a pilot you notice how many planes actually do this. This guy flew the approach correct but got hit by a freak gust of wind that clocked at 155MPH he pulled it off very professionaly. BTW this happened at Hamburg on a flight from Munich

Really? Wow....
Tell me more Mr. pilot....
After all, I was only a flyer in the Air Force for a little over 20+ years....
Got my Air Force wings and everything....
I've seen my share of "crash and dashes" or as they say in the civilian world -- "missed approaches." I even managed to eat my box lunch while doing it....
Hang tough Mr. Pilot in Command, hang tough.

Re: Why I hate flying
no sir wasnt trying to undermine you at all, all i ment was go arounds happen a lot more often than most people think. A lot of people think its a freak accident but it happens more often than that, not mostly with pax planes but a lot with smaller aircraft.
question....what aircraft did you fly?!

Re: Why I hate flying
Well if that happens "all the time" I guess I'm lucky. I ride on planes 2 times a week and I've never anything close to that happen. 
My worst experience was when we made an emergency landing because our fuel was leaking out of the aircraft. We landed fast and hard in Tulsa, OK. The engines were spitting fuel everywhere, all over the tarmack. As the fire engines sprayed us down with some sort of foamy stuff, we all had to jump out the emergency exits on the other side the plane. I got to jump on the wing and slide down it. I was kind of pissed because the guys in first class got slide down those big bubble shoots that pop out of the aircraft.

Re: Why I hate flying
Well this was a professional pilot. He did everything right at that moment however, he probably should have went to the divert strip to being with. A true professional would have seen the WX and not even tried if fuel, distance etc were not factors. It is easy to monday morning quarter back without the proper crew resource management factors given.

Re: Why I hate flying
haha the wing strikes are no indcluded in that part of often, thats crazy, its amazing he was able to regain control after a strike like that and that it didnt rip the wing off. does anyone know what the conditions were at the time besides the 155MPH wind gust?

Re: Why I hate flying
Here's a copy of the cockpit recording:
The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a PanAm 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747 (call sign "Speedbird 206") after landing:
Speedbird 206: "Top of the morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active runway."
Ground: "Guten morgen! You vill taxi to your gate!"
The big British Airways 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know vare you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by a moment Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with some arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, haff you never flown to Frankfurt before?!?"
Speedbird 206 (cooly): "Yes I have, Ground - in 1944. In another type of Boeing, we just dropped off a few things and didn't have time to stop though."

Re: Why I hate flying
That's pretty funny, MD. 
CO, CP was on twin prop puddle jumper in the Carribean when it caught fire!
She doesn't like to fly much.
