WestJet Denies Close Call Caught on Camera at St. Maarten
Westjet 2652 (CYYZ-TNCM) descended through MDA, was pictured about 50 feet off the ocean surface at Princess Juliana. They executed a go-around and landed successfully later. WestJet denies anything happened. Pictures show a very low aircraft. (www.christinenegroni.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
No harm no foul!
I don't care where you are or what you're flying, when on final you always want to maintain glide slope. If you can't, choose life and go around.
I've been into this airport dozens of times flying a Citation X. Yes, I would say the first approach was a bit lower than I would have been comfortable with. But I am surprised no one has mentioned the large truck on the perimeter road that stops short of the runway end. This was always a concern of mine landing there. I'm wondering if this played into the pilots decision to go around. Had the pilot and truck driver continued, the outcome would have been different. Also, with a wet runway, the crew was likely focused on landing as close to the end as possible. One last comment, the publics access to the approach end of this runway is a big mistake.
Well, observing the plane and according to the details offered by eyewitnesses, according to my experience of flight and to know that airport I think that airplane was a little bit LOW to make the final approach
I find it funny that comments on the article say that the picture was photoshopped. The comparison shots with an a330 that landed later shows the a330 higher than the 737 but not visible wake on the water. They are saying the wake on the 737 was fake. There is a video that shows the incident and it also shows the wake generated too... Also look at the buoy in both shots and tell me who was closer to the water? The pilots went around because they were too low, weather was a big factor
LSO called 3-wire trap touch and go. I spent 3 years on the flight deck of the USS Ranger in arresting gear! LoL
