- A windy approach into Santorini’s Thira airport on an Easy Jet Airbus A320 NEO Pilot decides to abort the landing and climb out fir a second approach.
0:50 Flight attendant didn't miss a beat, immediately explaining why, and calmly. Total pro.
I thought the same thing!
I have never seen or heard that anywhere else to be honest, especially the phrasing "for operational reasons[...] climb back up and will give explanation shortly." So insanely well done!
She had to cause the film was only 1 minute and 16 seconds long.
@@boahneelassmal Standard procedure at easyJet and followed the script to the letter!
@@Shortbread1015DT as i said, haven't had the pleasure of hearing that lovely announcement yet. I can just say from others I have experienced.
PA to reassure passengers 5 seconds after the balked landing was initiated. This is why we love easyjet.
@British Airways Boeing 747-436 is that a question?
@British Airways Boeing 747-436 I have worked for many airlines over many years and I can tell you that they do not. At least not so promptly and professionally as in the video.
@British Airways Boeing 747-436 I hope not.
Never heard that expression 'balked landing' before! Will now use at every opportunity - cool
@@j.o.1516 balked landing is when you initiate the go around within the last 50 feet. It’s a special maneuver where you don’t pitch fully up straight away until you have climbed safely away. This is to avoid hitting the tail.
Love neo engine sounds, I know people prefer the ceo engines and so do I, but these are so cool too
@British Airways Boeing 747-436 well when you compare that of course I have to choose IAE V2500, but the LEAP is awesome too in its own way 😆
IAE V2500 sound is nice, neo doesn't sound loud, I prefer ceo engine sounds
Love your A32nx sounds!
@@fssim6825 wow, didn't expect to be recognized 😆 thank you so much!
any engine that gets me to my destination
seemed that the flying pilot was “long” due to strong winds and decided for a “go around” ... nothing bad about it besides burning extra fuel ... very swift and professional flight attendant ... bravo!
After watching this, i realized how much i miss the sound of engines. The FA was quick witted. Well done.
CFM LEAP roars like a GE90. It wont dissapoint on TOGA.
I used to be cabin crew with easyjet in 2001, they were great to work for. This happened a few times, much better to abort the landing in windy conditions, so the plane isn’t dancing around the tarmac like James Brown. Unlike Ryanair who take a more zero fucks given approach, and slam you into the ground like a dart 🎯
Ryanair have firm landings because it's safer. Priority is to get that airplane down on the ground as quickly as possible to use the least amount of runway.
I just fell in love with the flight purser.
Going Around is the most elegant thing a pilot can do! Pity they do it only when it is needed ^^
1:13 passenger not happy, impatient to enjoy Santorini :D
Looks like a beautiful place to visit.
Awesome catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!

Pilot: "Oups, wrong island..."
Legend has it, that they are still climbing to this day.
This looks so good I thought it was MSFS for a second
no
I love Airbus Neos and also a go around 😍😅
OMG......the Water............................................................................................................................................................................................ the wingflex
That Flight Attendant dis a superb job!
Fantastic video
0:49 Good choice to abort landing, not the first to try thou
We had this twice on an approach to Gatwick, I have to say the cabin crew were on it straight away explaining why we had aborted landing twice. Good communication skills. My wife was having kittens, but I enjoyed it.
How are the kittens?
@@2011zurich They are fine now than you for asking. 😂
Beautiful sound
Just back from here yesterday, never knew the wind issues of santorini. Most of the UK planes couldnt land and went to Athens, the greek airlines however seemed to have no issues. I was a day late coming home as plane taking us back to the UK couldnt land...its a beautiful place but as a nervous flyer..never again.
as a nervous flyer there is nothing worse than thinking finally, seconds away from getting off this thing but oh no, only to be taking off again
Deciding to go around instead of landing means it is thought by the crew to be the safest option of the two. So believe me, you can be pretty much grateful that they do go-around 😉
I understand you’re a nervous flyer, it’s OK, we all have our own fears. But think of it this way : it is actually go-arounds, delayed/cancelled flights (for weather, for a doubtful system parameter on the aircraft, etc), diversions... which make commercial flying the safest way to travel. I understand they’re all annoying & I understand a go-around itself can be a stressful experience for you, but try thinking this way.
You have NO IDEA how safe the roads, for example, would become if all daily drivers had even a fraction of that rigour, discipline, human factors awareness, precaution, weather knowledge, appreciation for redundancy, etc.
I hope it makes sense & helps you :-)
@@LouisPrudhomme The most underrated comment on here! Well explained
Hold my beer got to go back around
Nice, but to me the more interesting approach into santorini is when you sit on the left, dramatic landscapes in sea.😊😊
Come by boat to Santorin, it's much more spectacular, the entry in the chaldera is breathtaking
NEOA engine didnt break a sweat to pull out inmense thrust.
Whitch row?
This happened to me !! We went to the 2nd stop. Poor people had to get on a different plane and backtrack .at least they lived.
Great footage 👍. Bit nerve wracking when it happens but worth it once you get down there, isn't it?
if i owned a airline i would make them say yo family we goin round 1 more time
Standard operating procedure when too many whales are porpoises are spotted sunbathing on the beach during final approach...this maneuver requires incredible attention to detail, reflexes, split second decision making, and experience from the pilot and co-pilot. Unfortunately, the vast majority of flight crew are unable to execute this maneuver due to lack of experience and passengers are simply left to their fate. The passengers on this particular flight are extremely fortunate as the pilots quick thinking and actions saved them from a horrifying vacation experience.
this flair was endless
Oh this is where I leave. Its a very windy place even though its hot.
A month ago easyjet did the same at bristol it came from malaga then landed and go around
good call. not the most stable final, longish float with reserve Vapp knots. nicely done.
Did the pilot land the plane?
Greek islands are very windy….makes sense. I had lots of turbulence coming into Mykonos
did the other pilot can cancel a turn around of his partner ?
That damn Meltemi !
Pilot: “wrong airport shit shit shit”
Those engines are like a silent fart.... quiet but pack's a punch
No Soft-GA?
Why would they want it? They're going around in turbulence (and potentially windshear) with a high go-around altitude. Santorini is a pretty hilly place! That's probably the day to use the power. LGW on the other hand, on a nice day when they've been asked to go around by the tower at 1500ft, fill your boots! Go around soft isn't a default, it's an option.
@@milesaharrison yes but maintenance will love you
@@gamesmore9169 Maintenance couldn't care less and it actually makes no difference to them. To engage soft go-around, you FIRST need to select TOGA so it is still classed as using TOGA, so the maintenance cycle wouldn't change one bit. Soft-GA is to limit climb perf where desirable (low stop alitutude in busy airspace), to improve passenger comfort, but not to save engine wear - though that is an added benefit.
I imagine 95% of go-arounds on the A320 are done maintaining full TOGA power until acceleration. Only the newest ones have soft go-around installed anyway. Therefore the chance of any of us remembering to use it is virtually zero. That said, Santorini is definitely one of the places to avoid using it.
GA Soft wouldn’t be used that close to the ground
This happened tome right there at santorini. He went round twice , and the captain said we’re gonna try one more time otherwise we will land at Crete, luckily we got I on third attempt. A bit scary.
Was that the Geordie whale song that I could hear?
Pilots wife on whatsapp:Hi, im at the airport waiting. And by the way, who is Jessica? Pilots response: 0:42
A lifetime of sailing and 35 years of flying. Where's the wind?
At first I thought it was FS2020 😅
Great catch. I'd love to see the second attempt though?
I was on it and just before landing the aircraft was swaying side to side,2nd attempt went straight for it and dropped it on to runway.Pilots got a massive round of applause
Always windy in Santorini...
Looks more like preparing for ditching
Yep, definitely a little “float” going on there. Wise decision to go around as that float could have used up another thousand feet of runway.
cool 🙂
Lugar bonito se fosse no Brasil ia ter um monte de favelas aí do lado lixo sem fim parabéns a os países e aeroportos lindos
Goin back oooooop!
Better be safe
Wow
Zats an A320 neo
yeah no shit
I was on this flight and it was a lot worse than appears on video
the neo Engines are so quiet
Autothrust working a lot...
Passengers forgot to pay the landing fee.
That is not a Airbus A320! It is a A320neo!
it literally says a320 NEO in the title
Can someone CC her for me when she goes "The Captain has ... climb back up ... continue ..." ?
Ladies and Gentlemen for operational reasons the captain has considered the necessary to climb back up rather than continue with the landing. This is a standard procedure and the pilots will give us more information as soon as possible. In the meantime please remain seated with your seatbelt securely fastened thank you ;)
@@dawaane Lovely! Thanks very much 🙏
That is an A320neo not an A320!
it literally says a320 NEO in the title
Standard procedure?! It's standard procedure to change my shorts when this happens!!!!
Why? Theres no technical problems or anything
First draft. "Aaaargh! No! We are going to DIE!!!"
Second draft. " Well, it was a good life while it lasted. Ah well."
Third draft. "Ladies and gentlemen (sniff) missing the runway first time is a rewarding service we offer all our frequent flyers. The sudden loss of engine power is perfectly normal...."
In the cockpit. "CLIMB ya piece of junk! Climb!"
That was some piece of junk too
Windy - my foot! Fair-weather cumulus, the sea is smooth, wings hardly moving. Not windy, the go-around must have been for some other reason.
Likely a long landing, or at least thats what I've observed from the flare and prolonged float.
Something to do with wind and the volcano near the airport. The conditions looked good but we were bouncing around a little.
@@j.o.1516 On touchdown there is no significant yaw - watch the direction the wing is pointing. In a strong crosswind, the plane is crabbing into the wind so not aligned with the runway. As the pilot flares, s/he uses a lot of rudder to skid the aircraft into the wind (which stops a sideways force on the landing gear) and aligns the plane with the runway.
The pilots a menace to everything in the air .. yes birds too!
Not so easy jet tho....
Landed here loads of time feel like u going in sea would shit me self if this ever happend to me landing
😬😓😯😱
