Awesome!! Go-Around

Very rare to see an A380 go around! So close to call 'touch and go'. Which Pilots practice literally...

That was interesting. I'd love to hear the tapes on that incident.
Was it a late landing clearance that never came? Was it another aircraft late clearing the runway.

Can u imagine the cost of that go-around?

Early flare leaving the jet too high and then leading to it running out of runway. You wouldn't even begin the flare without landing clearance and an instruction to go around would result in a very positive climb away far earlier, of which this is neither.

Can be summed up in to words............Flair and float....
