| Video Discription | This is the story of Singapore airlines flight 231. If you dont know the airbus A380 is the worlds largest passenger plane and that it carries a lot of people. Just to put things into context a typical emirates a380 can handle well above 500 people, while a 737 in an all economy configuration tops out at about 180 . It would take 4 737s to replace one A380 and thats with the space on the A380 being allocated to things like bars spas and showers. So the question is what do you do when such a large plane has an emergency well we thankfully havent had to find out, weve had a few close calls like quantas 32 and the story of Sigapore 231 is one of those lesser known stories. On the 9th of february 2020 An airbus A380 was making the trip from Singapore to sydney, with singapore being a connecting hub and with so many people wanting to travel to sydney it makes sense to put an A380 on this route. On this day as the pilots approached sydney they were greeted by some bad news, the weather in sydney was not the best. There was quite a bit of wind from the east south easterly direction with a crosswind of 29 knots. Moreover severe windshear had been reported for runway 16R. Wind shear really messes with a plane especially on final approach as the wind quickly changes direction for short period of time, it can really destabilize a plane on final. Heres how the aussie bureau of meteorology puts it a wind direction and/or speed change over a vertical or horizontal distance. It is significant when it causes changes to an aircraft’s headwind or tailwind such that the aircraft is abruptly displaced from its intended flight path and substantial control action is required to correct it’. Seeing all of this the pilots decided to go over the missed aprpaoch procedures for sydney airport and its a good thing that they did as they were cleared to land on runway 16R . They lined the jet up with the runway and took it down the plane as they fought with the weather to keep the plane centered with the runway. The jet was now just 1000 feet above the runway and then they flew right through some heavy windshear, The pilots immediately knew that they had no way of making this landing, they were no longer stablized and the best thing for everyone was to go around and try again. They commanded TOGA or Takeoff / go around power from the engines, retracted the flaps a bit and then let the controllers know that theyre going around. ATC instruicted them to climb to 3000 feet and to turn right to 270 degrees. But as the jet climbed away to the horror of the controllers the massive plane stared banking to the left instead of right. This was a huge problem as Sydney has a runway 16R, the runway that they were landing on and a runway 16L a runway that as the designator says is on the left, this left turn took them directly into the approach path for runway 16L. The controller is confused by this and he or she enquired if the plane was turning right to which the pilots of the A380 were like no we are not turning right. The controllers immediately gave them vectors to get them out of this area but they were now getting dangerously close to a dash 8 at their 12 O clock who was 11 kilometers or 6Nm away, who was landing on runway 16 L. The A380 wasnt turning as fast as they wanted to they got the Dash 8 to turn to the right to keep separation with the A380. Now this would have done the trick at most other airports but for such a busy airport like sydney it can cause some problems. In this case the right hand turn of the dash 8 took the dash 8 into the path of the 737 that had lined up behind the A380 to land on runway 16R! The dash 8 was now barrleinginto the path of the 737 and the distance between them dropped all the way down to 2.6 Nm which is well below the required minimums. This caused the controller to immediately issue a few traffic avoidance manuevers and all the planes then landed safely at sydney. |
