go-around

London, United Kingdom: On October 12, 2025, a DHL-operated Airbus A300 (registration D-AEAG) suffering a tailstrike during a go-around at London Heathrow Airport on October 12, 2025, has garnered significant attention. Flight QY2212 from Leipzig was attempting to land on Runway 09L when the aircraft experienced a tailstrike. Despite deploying thrust reversers and spoilers, the pilots initiated a go-around, a maneuver that typically requires the reversal of these systems. The aircraft then climbed to 4,500 feet and safely landed on Runway 09R approximately 17 minutes later. Some experts speculate that improper cargo loading or shifting could have contributed to the instability during landing. Others point to pilot-induced factors, noting the significant nose-up inputs observed during the approach. A video capturing the incident has been widely shared, providing visual insight into the aircraft's approach and subsequent go-around. The footage has sparked discussions about the appropriateness of the go-around decision given the deployment of reverse thrust and spoilers. While the aircraft landed safely, the incident has prompted a review of the procedures and decisions made during the approach and go-around phases. Further investigations may provide more clarity on the factors leading to this unusual incident.

Washington, United States: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation after a regional jet was forced to abort its landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) on Monday morning when pilots observed an airport vehicle on the runway. American Airlines Flight 4528, operated by Republic Airways and arriving from Detroit, was approaching the airport around 7 a.m. when the flight crew detected a potential hazard on Runway 33. According to audio from LiveATC.net, the pilot queried air traffic control, asking, “Tower, is there a vehicle on Runway 33?” The controller responded promptly, instructing the crew to “go around.” By the time the vehicle cleared the runway less than 12 seconds later the plane had already initiated a circling maneuver and safely landed approximately 15 minutes afterward. The FAA confirmed that the go-around was ordered as maintenance personnel were inspecting the runway. Data from Flightradar24 indicated that the aircraft was just 150 feet above ground and about three-quarters of a mile from the runway threshold when the maneuver was initiated, highlighting the proximity of the incident to a potential runway collision. This episode adds to a series of close calls at Reagan National Airport in recent months. Earlier this year, in January, 67 people lost their lives when a PSA Airlines-operated American Airlines regional jet collided midair with an Army Black Hawk helicopter while landing on the same runway. The accident prompted the FAA to restrict helicopter operations in the vicinity and revise air traffic control procedures. The FAA’s current investigation will focus on the circumstances that allowed the runway vehicle to be in the path of an arriving aircraft and assess the airport’s operational procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Airport and aviation officials have emphasized that no injuries occurred and that the aircraft landed safely following the go-around.
