Actually this happens alot more often than you would think. The term for the craft that had to abort landing is "going around" he basically will just fly back up into the circuit and circle around again.
This has happened to me a few times when landing. Mostly it would be just small prop planes. So my guess is that whoever is in that control tower messed up.

The queue is at the holding point off to the side of the airport, and thats IF they dont vector you around in order to make enough space for the guy in front of you to land. In this case, the ground controller is getting his ass handed to him.

grandmabetty (06/10/2015) [-] Do pilots just rely on what the tower tells them to do or in this case did they just not use their ******* eyes?

They have to hold short and wait for clearance to taxi onto the runway, and even then, they are supposed to stop and check to make sure the runway is clear before continuing to taxi.

mattdoggy (06/11/2015) [-] That's one of the first things they tell you actually
Your instruments and the tower are god and that your eyes can be wrong
a lot of the time you are flying in the dark or fog or rain and can't even see so you rely entirely on your instruments. Also after long periods of flying and strange weather conditions what you are seeing might not actually be what's there. A lot of crashes have happened because the pilots felt they were higher up when the instruments said they were too low or they went too fast even though their indicators showed otherwise.

darksideofthebeast (06/11/2015) [-] ...Ummm
The tower is supposed to not **** up at all... If they make their own decisions, they can be fired for some of the stuff, so yes, they have to rely on the tower FOR their job.

When I was stationed at Kandahar afghan I worked on the flight line. Since it was an ISAF base, we had aircraft from numerous countries there. The best were the Russian pilots. Standard procedure is to request access to take off from the tower. These Russians would start there plane and head for the runway without any radio contact. Tower would be like "Antonov 265 what are you doing!?" (Cue Russian accent) " uhhh, tower we take off now." "No Antonov runway is not clear. Hold short!" .. "Roger we are taking off now." -takes off- so many close calls with those ******* lol.

This exact thing happened to my parents on a flight, except the wheels just barely touched the ground. Scary stuff, my mom thought she'd die holding her 8 month old baby
