- The approach flown was a CAT I ILS. I could see the rain column approach from the other side of the field so I got out my phone camera from the jump seat. You can hear the GPWS announce minimums at 200' AGL, and shortly after all visibility is lost due to rain. You do not hear the "50" foot call out during the touch and go, but it had to be close. The HUD really provides incredible center-line tracking, although you can't see the symbology from the camera angle.
Ultimately, we had plenty of fuel on board and we where given radar vectors back for another approach. In just 15 minutes the rain had passed and the sun was coming out.

From visual and landing to complete white out and instantly go to instruments and go around......awesome airmanship!
I must also agree. Being a pilot myself I know it takes a highly skilled airman to quickly and effectively make a decision like that. His unwavering decision in this kind of deteriorating situation is the kind that saves lives and money. Great props to this pilot! 👏🏻
Awesome airmanship? Every decision but going around would have been awfully wrong. Every student pilot would have made the same decision in this situation.
@@cheddarroman2536 Sorry to disagree. Every student pilot would have decided to go around in this situation.
Might be the best example of a go around decision....
Yes
@@micahcollin5888 nah that’s just psychotic. If you do that then you’re just an insecure person
@@ITripReport do you recall what they said?
perfect call, you could see the runway on the minimums call and suddenly it was gone, incredible, never seen anything like this
Wow that runway disappeared fast at the worst time possible.
Exactly. 15 minutes later the sun was shining. History is littered with pilots who never saw the sun the next day.
there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old and bold pilots
or the moon
My instructor told me once, "Most of the FARs are written in blood, don't let the next one be written in yours."
Awesome video. Right decision to go around and try the approach again.
No decision there, he lost the runway. No more land no landing. Automatic keep flying.. go around
The real hero is the guy who saw the weather deteriorate and had the sense to record what was coming.
This is a beautiful example of a professional, well-trained and responsible pilot executing perfectly a maneuver that came in a situation that may only come a couple times in his career but he is prepared for it every flight every day. He made a decision in a half of a second, without hesitation or even the smallest twinge of getthereitis. It wasn’t that he consciously made a decision to go around, his training prepared him to know there was no decision. There was no option. In the next half of a second, he, with his crew, made the decision, executed the maneuver, reconfigured the aircraft back to climb and all of this with no risk of harm to the passengers in his care. Sadly, many pilots have chosen to believe they knew better than their training and in many cases they never flew again. Tragically, their passengers never flew again either.
This pilot can fly me anywhere, any day, in any situation.
you can alwaaaaaays go around !!
If it dont look gooood comin' dooown
haha

Don't wait until you're sideways...
Excellent video! this Shows exactly what happens when visibility drops to zero, (without warning), right at the last second just before decision height. The pilots were excellent, professional, and most of all, made the absolute right call by executing a "go around".
+biggy5567
This was *after* decision height, so technically the pilots didn't even have guaranteed obstruction clearance during the go-around.
+Frank Ch. Eigler if there was a departure procedure off of this runway you could find out what sort of obstacles are along the departure end of the runway. If the pilots are familiar not a big deal to go around late. This is always practiced in the sim. Something like a fuel truck or airport security car crosses the runway at the last second.
+metrocaptain Actually, every approach plate has a documented "missed approach" procedure in the top right corner. This procedures does guarantee obstacle clearance. The missed approach procedure will state what altitude to climb to, what heading to turn to, and what navaid to track. Every pilot, (especially in IFR conditions) would familiarize themselves with the missed approach procedure, for their particular runway, well before landing, and also have the procedure plate nearby (more than likely right in front of them, clipped to their yoke).
biggy5567 Yes, but the MAP begins at the DP/DH, not past that point.
+Frank Ch. Eigler It doesn't matter. You would still fly the published "missed" if you are not able land, or if conditions hinder the ability to land safely, or if the tower tells you to go-around. Regardless if you are past the DH, or over the runway, or even if your wheels have touched down on the runway. Check out some of youtubes videos for high wind crosswind landings, there are planes that are two thirds down the runway, and execute a missed approach, WELL past the DH. The DH just represents the final point where the runway must be visible to continue with the landing, it doesn't mean that you cant execute a missed approach after that point. In the above video, the runway was visible at DH, so they continued to land as normal, but shortly after that, and just before touchdown the visibility went to zero, which is why they executed a missed, and tuned to a heading of 90 degrees, which would have been the heading of the published chart for that particular runway.
Great decision-making. The runway became invisible right before the "minimums" callout. Rather than saying "fuck it, the plane will probably make it to the runway", they went around exactly as prescribed. Nice work and quick thinking.
Really it would be the only decision. Once at DA but after which the runway environment disappears, one must execute the Go around. Normally the runway environment should be and maintained in sight down to touchdown. Of course if it were a CAT IIIC, who cares.
One's personal minimums must exceed established minimums, and must be hard and non-negotiable. I understand everyone on here knows this, but its good to pair it with a driver who did it right......kick the pig and shoot another. Is another 10 min worth everyone's life on board?
@@phillipmckie4913 A category III approach (CAT III with 0 visibility) are rarely executed because most aircraft don't have the equipment, plus once you land with that kind of visibility taxiing can be impossible or incredibly dangerous.
@@phillipmckie4913 and also the pilots have to be authorized to this landing. Not every pilot can land cat3. and also the airport infrastructure must be suitable for cat3.
@@h4runx every airport with a CAT III ILS also has centerline lead-off lights to the taxiways, ASDE-X, and can probably offer a follow-me car if needed. If it were so dangerous, airlines wouldn't be doing it at major airports regularly.
That said, no purpose-built bizjet is certified to CAT III (e.g. Gulfstream, GlobalExpress, Falcon). You can probably get it on a BBJ/ACJ for the right price since they're really just transport-category planes with executive interiors, but part of the utility of a bizjet is being able to fly into executive/regional/municipal airports instead of the big hubs, and only the big hubs have CAT III approaches. I recall hearing that Gulfstream was pushing the FAA to let pilots use EVS/SVS to fly below minima, but that's been years ago so I doubt it went anywhere.
I've been flying KingAir200's and Citations for years and never had this happen to that extreme. Gives a good perspective of what happens in that example of minimums to below minimums and a forced go-around. Thanks for the post. Good call guys. Blue Skies All !!
Good job- good positive reinforcement. Too often and go around/missed approach is not done when it should be, and the consequences are never good.
Very fascinating weather scenario just allowing the threshold to barely peak out and then all hell breaking loose just beyond that.
Impressive! I've never seen smth like this b4. It was like BOOOM! - and you see nothing. Pilots made a nice job!
Must watch for all new pilots. Go around made a night and day difference compared with plunging into the unknown. PRO pilot means as little risk as possible.
It saddens me so much to think of all the dead pilots (and pass) in history who would still be alive if they would’ve taken 15 more minutes until the sun came out.
Excellent decision and execution from an excellent pilot, thanks for sharing this video!
i love how the runway disappears at pretty much the exact same moment that minimums is called. good flying!
Jesus, going from fully visual approach to filly instrumental in just a second and they don't even get confused. Well done!
That is a nightmare. Good call safety 1 st
wow, never see that before! good job.
This was a good call . It seemed so tempting to continue....great job!
Runway: NOW YOU SEE ME.........
Now you don't!
You guys made the perfect call...when in doubt, power, climb and go around. Had pretty much the same thing happen to me over the years I was a pilot.
This why instruments are so important on an airplane. Also, balls of steel!
If only I could work as hard as that windscreen wiper is wiping
Wow, this is a really great video for executing go-around! Kudo to the safe good pilot!!
Good thing they hand the power/speed available for an instant go around. Heard stories that by the time the b1900d is reconfigured for the go around you can lose up to 300 feet. Very professional crew! Well done
Runway during approaching decision height:
Runway during minimums: *Aight Ima Head Out*
Excellent video ! Written in the books but very rarely captured in video !
Good airmanship and decision making
After all these years an YT sends me this... great simple video
That windshield wiper is such a romantic, never gives up
There are old pilots and bold pilots but no old and bold pilots. Excellent call. Bravo!
Good training by these pilots! Cool and calm. Never panicked.
Excellent professionalism!
Holy shit. VERY well executed, no hesitation and definitely the right choice. I'd fly with you guys any day!!
Judging from the visibility seconds after, going around seemed like the best choice
How difficult conditions can deteriorate even further so very very quickly.
Good decision making.
A category III approach (CAT III with 0 visibility) are rarely executed because most aircraft don't have the equipment, plus once you land with that kind of visibility taxiing can be impossible or incredibly dangerous.
Awesome that you were able to catch a go around from the cockpit! LIKED!
That is how it's done!
Good call guys!
That's really unique! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
That’s awesome you actually ask before posting I love your videos btw❤️❤️❤️
These are the moments when your training & flight hours pay off.
I hope your passengers thanked you & your crew upon disembarking the Aircraft, if not, I thank you for getting all there safely.
Great decision and well executed. That's how it's done, fellas!
I'm always pissed when the pilot does a go-around because it makes the flight late. But after seeing this video, I think I should be thanking the pilots for going around.
Excellent job guys. I'm a former corporate pilot now at an airline. I've actually never seen the visibility go out like that so close to the actual landing. No doubt that was a handful going from landing mode to missed approach. Well done.
Lol that came out of nowhere. When things from very manageable become shitty. You can always go around 👍
Just a tiny bit late decision-making but better late than never. Great job 👏
Regulation requires a certain fuel level from origin to destination in the event that a go-around is required.
good decition, and great pilot skil
You can always count on some oneupper asshat that's been there and done that 2x better. Captain, good call! They don't pay you to be an economist but a pilot. A safe, level headed professional pilot at that! Hats off to you and your crew.
MAP must be started if the required visual to continue the approach has not been achieved.
you got it, bro!
Wow. That's pretty intense.
It is a HUD, it projects an image of the runway to the pilot, so he could still see the a picture of the runway even though it was obscured, it was in the description.
This is the first time I've heard the automated callout say, "Approaching Decision Height" as opposed to, "Approaching minimums..."
Same, turns out that which callouts are used is a configurable option, with the options for callouts relative to decision height being:
at DH+100: either "APPROACHING DECISION HEIGHT" or "PLUS HUNDRED"
at DH+80: "APPROACHING MINIMUMS"
at DH+50: "FIFTY ABOVE"
at DH one of: "MINIMUM", "MINIMUMS", "MINIMUMS MINIMUMS", "DECISION HEIGHT", or "DECIDE"
Good airmanship
I remember seeing the opposite of this at Ft. Lauderdale Airport, crazy rain at approach end of runway, but was perfectly clear over field, pilot initiated go around and then was perfect sunny day over runway, very strange
Well done boys! Great use of decision making and clean SOPs.
Bro certainly earned his living this day
Man did that close out quick.
Boy what a great job those guys did! That's what makes a captain...
Awesome decision making and pilotage. Pros.
That runway was the perfect example of Houdini
There's a difference between a Decision Height, exhibited in this video, and a Minimum Descent Altitude. A DH is the altitude where you decide whether to continue or not, and allows for a margin to re-configure the aircraft to go-around if necessary. An MDA is an altitude floor, one that you cannot go below unless you have the runway in sight.
Good call!
Well that was professional. Unlike the LYNARD sYANARD CREW.
unreal, just before mins i thought..i'd land no probs...then.....unreal..good job you were flying and not me:)
Can't go below decision Height unless you have the runway in sight either. On a precision approach, that is one that gives you both later and vertical guidance, like an ILS, you have a DH. On a non-precision approach such a VOR approach, you have a MDA. At a DH, you land or go around. At an MDA, you can level off early and fly that altitude closer to the runway until the Missed Approach Point, then you have to see the runway or go around.
Vin and the ganks did it again!
Love your plane shot! Can I feature it in my project with credit? Thanks!
Yes, it shows an outline of the runway if configured correctly. Allows you to manually fly CATIII approaches.
Good CRM and aeronautical decision making.
It wasn't bad, it worked out well. They could have communicated down final on their plan. They were both concerned but nobody brought it up.
In this situation we can say: i belive i can fly !
Wow amazing reaction, very professional, this job is very stressfull bécasse of so many different situations ! :)
Pucker coefficient was a .95, good judgement and nice flying.
Did the master caution light come on briefly once they commenced the turn after the go-around or is that a different indicator. Just keen to understand why that would come on briefly.
he must go a round nice!!!
goodwork captain
No auto-land from a CAT1 approach on the 737.
Going around below DH or MDA is a non-issue, if you loose required viz, a/c unstable, windshear, runway obstructed, bounced landing, you name it, you can still go around and your company, if at all sane, will support you allways.
The 'go around' was definitely called 4seconds late. But what is more concerning is the tone of the second voice which I believe is confirming a go around request from the first voice? 'I'm going around? - Go around?' - Is that the co-pilot asking the Captain if it's OK to go around? If so the Captain says his first confirmation 'go around' as if it's a big hassle and a pain. If your attitude is that it's 'a hassle to do a go around' then that is a very dangerous mindset for a pilot to have.
Da fuk! Where's the end! This was the most suspenseful thing I've seen lately! I want to see it land!
Awesome work!!!
Good call.
Theoretically yes, although it's just very unsafe. When flying by Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), you can follow your instruments up until the decision point where you land if you have a visual of the runway or go-around if you don't. I suppose you could estimate when you're going to hit the runway based on your altitude and airspeed, but again, an unnecessary risk considering the damage you could do to the plane in a rough landing assuming nothing else out of the ordinary happens.
At about :25 the Pilot Flying calls "Full Stop" which is likely the standard phrase used to indicate his intent to continue the approach to a landing (a decision made before or at the Minimum and which in this case was later reversed on encountering conditions below the minima.
About your B: It's a standard procedure to disconect autopilot aroung 500ft agl, rain or not. If it was very poor visibility, I guess the plane COULD land itself but for that to happen, the runway would have to be equipped with CAT III ILS wich is not the case in this video. It is clearly stated in the description that this was CAT I ILS approach.
The real comment to be from a licensed pilot or not is how quick the pic decided to go missed after he lost visual. I'm a private studying for ifr, and to see imc at minimums in real time is still amazing to see, the is considering allowing more EVS on low viz approaches. This is how it's done right. The question being a percision approach was did he min viz at DH? Or he had it just a very short time...
SQUAWK: Autoland on this plane is hard.
MECHANIC: Autoland is not installed on this plane.
Awesome video guys! Thanks for sharing! My husband always laughs, I always am so in sink with the plane computer and 99% of the time say "Minimums" in sink so 'Jinx, your plane owes me a coke (diet, please :-) ) I am the girliest ave geek girl you will ever know. I would have made the same decision though, seriously .... getting my air miles, one flight at a time ;-) Thanks again
I hear multiple voices calling for the same thing. Everyone saw the same thing it seems
Correct decision but scary how long they waited to make the call to avoid a plainly visible rain pillar covering the runway. You don't want to encounter a microburst downdraft at minimum altitude.
Perfect....GO Around !!!!!!
This is so well done. bravo!
No, for every instrument approach, you have an altitude you can't descend below until you have the field in sight. However, some airlines have planes that have autopilot systems so sophisticated that the plane can literally land itself. But if a human being is at the controls, it's not allowed to be attempted
The right procedure is to go missed, direct to the publish holding, or whatever ATC advises you, hold until cleared to shoot the approach again.
Legally, You are supposed to have enough fuel on board to get to the destination, fly to an alternate airport (if an alternate is necessary, depends on the weather forecast), and then another 45 minutes of fuel at cruise flight. From the point where the video ends, you could wait in a holding pattern until the weather on the airfield clears up or proceed to your filed alternate airport.
Very Professional
So awesome
since there are a billion of them I assume it's the "turn around because it is raining so hard that you can't land properly"-light
keep calm and go out of there
Part of me was hoping to hear him say "I got this".
Honestly 99% of things are fine, it's the 1% that they'd rather not encounter, so it's a safety blanket
