That’s called yaw.

The biggest test as a pilot must be the ability to work under pressure.

My flight to Hawaii. We were approaching and I said that we’ll likely not be landing because it feels turbulent. Surely enough we went in, it was squirmy, we touched down and bounced right back up like a roller coaster. Made me realize how much I appreciated the amounts of engineering on these massive airliners 😆
Was cool though because we had to circle all the way around. Got a whole view of the islands.

This was me playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 guys, I’m a bit of a noob.

You needed a comma after “crosswinds”, makes it sound like the crosswinds didn’t actually hit them without it.

I was in a red eye flight that was diverted during landing at SFO. Nobody noticed but me and my sone. Everyone else slept right through it.

I had a plane take off immediately after touching down on a flight I was on. It was rainy but I don’t remember much turbulence or coming in at a weird angle like this one. Whatever it was, I’m glad he did, because if a pilot nopes out of a situation, it’s probably for a good reason, even if it was a mistake like approaching too fast or too close. We landed on the second pass.

I have only one experienced a go-around and it took my mind a moment to process. That sudden acceleration that pushes you back in your seat and the nose being turned up sharply is not a sensation you expect when you’re about to touch down.
I can’t imagine if that were coupled by the bumpy feeling of the wheels hitting the tarmac first. Yeah, my seat might have required a proper cleaning after that.

Had this happen once. The power of these planes in insane. The g force was more than a roller coaster.

Just landed in LA from NY and plane took off again as it landed, fucking terrifying, especially after a long bumpy flight

Correct decision to go around

That’s not so bad.
Wildest ride ever was on a dash 8 from anchorage to kodiak. I was surprised we were flying, the weather was sketchy as f. I was riding with my then 13 year old and he’d never been on a plane this small (his second flight ever). I may have been drinking at that time.
Anyway, we are about 30 minutes into the flight and things started getting bouncy. Like bush plane bouncy. Like people were looking around at each other bouncy and there’s not a happy look anywhere. About 5 (maybe?) minutes before we landed we were getting slammed, like airframe stress worries slammed. Up and down and side to side and I looked over at my kid and grinned. “Better than Six Flags.” We gave each other a high five, he was happy now that I was obviously the toughest and best dad in the Universe and all was well.
I’m still not sure how but the pilot stuck that landing. I had Josh stand by the luggage unloading area (they didn’t have a carousel then) so best dad in the universe could clean out his underwear.

I flew in to LAS one time and the winds were so strong it took three attempts, each with last minute aborts. The 3rd try he basically slammed into the ground to make it stick.
It was scary but honestly I was thankful. My coworkers on other flights most were diverted to other airports and had to wait hours before they could fly in.
The worst was a coworker that flew from Ontario Canada and was diverted to Ontario California. But because it was an international flight they couldn’t leave the plan and had to sit on the plane for 6hrs (after flying 6hrs) before flying back to LAS.

I was on a flight from Singapore to Phuket with my wife on our honeymoon, during our landing at Phuket, I looked out of the window and told my wife “hmm the plane looks pretty fast for a landing”, and sure enough the next second we heard the engine whirring back up and we headed to the sky again. And about 20 seconds later, everything went quiet, like no engine sound quiet, people were looking at each other. And then all of a sudden the plane dropped for a second and everybody screamed. I told my wife nonchalantly that it’s perfectly normal, to calm her nerves. meanwhile I was screaming inside and clutching my seat as tight as I could. And you could immediately smelled in the air of everyone sweating.
Fortunately the plane landed the second time around and pilot said the go around was due to high tailwind the first time.

Watch Mentour Pilot on YouTube. He goes into quite technical but easy to understand detail about incidents like these. Makes one really appreciate the engineering, thought, procedures, and skill that goes into commercial flights. Helped relieve my flying anxiety quite a bit.

A comma after ‘crosswinds’ would really help this post take off.

Honestly this isn’t that bad. You’re gonna feel some sideways movement and then the plane accelerate and question why the engines are pushing up. The nose gear didn’t even touch down and there was almost no side-to-side movement of the aircraft. I’ve experienced plenty of go-arounds and what will really make your ass pucker is when you get tossed side-to-side and they still manage to put it down (especially if the jet has reverse thrust). But this? it’s a super annoying delay, but otherwise nbd.
