On March 19, an Airbus A320-200 experienced a dramatic go-around after encountering wind shear at Funchal Cristiano Ronaldo Airport, also known as Madeira Airport and informally referred to as Funchal Airport. Go-arounds are routine, but this instance provided an opportunity to closely examine what occurred.
The incident involved the aircraft performing a go-around due to intense wind shear conditions. Wind shear, a sudden change in wind speed or direction, can pose challenges during takeoff and landing. Such occurrences are common, and pilots are trained to handle them.
The easyJet pilot successfully managed the situation, ensuring that the aircraft and passengers remained safe. "While go-arounds happen all the time, let's more closely examine what is happening in this video!" was noted in the context of the event.
