ABORT! ABORT! MD-11 ABORTED LANDING + GO AROUND | Sydney Airport Plane Spotting 14,350 views•Dec 19, 2020
A surprising MD-11F aborted landing captured at Sydney Airport. Unsure what the reason behind it was but with some variable crosswinds on the day, possible a strong westerly gust knocked it off course! What do you think caused this go around? (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sure does appear to have been doing all the right things at the touch down point, and these guys that fly them MD-11's sure do know just HOW to get them back on the ground in some really crazy situations too !!!!
They have learned a thing or two after several wound up crispy critters on their backs.

First impression may have been a gear indication issue, possibly with the body gear resulting in an intentional touch & go, otherwise the spoilers would have deployed? Just a guess.
