Wind Shear Go Around Perth Airport Western Australia QF765 an A330-202 VH-EBJ on the 20 March 2023

Qantas QF765 an A330-202 flying from Melbourne to Perth had to Go Around at Perth Airport Western Australia on 20 March 2023. I was filming the approach and landing when the Pilot initiated a Go-around due to wind direction change. The upside was the magnificent views of Perth, Fremantle and the Swan River. I really enjoyed feeling the power of the engines as full TOGA was selected. Very professional Pilots taking the safest option. The Go-around is at the 6:54 mark.

Nice Catch of Perth Airport!

[@DrBearAviation]

Nice catch of this kind of rare event. It was such a wobbly approach, and the reaction of the pilot is an excellent demonstration of professionalism.

[@jialinang8270]

I experienced this twice, both at Perth airport. Wonder if this happen often or I'm just unlucky 🤔

[@qfa330]

Perfect clear day for an airborne tour of Perth and Jandakot Aiport !

[@the_littles7928]

Always wobbly and bumpy coming into Perth. Bloody hate it haha

[@cptmallu]

If your flight go around, you must be lucky, because your pilots didn't horseplay with you life :)

[@paulfromperth5713]

I’ve been to around 18 airports in Europe and Asia and Perth is the worst for rough landings and takeoffs. I also worked there putting food carts on planes and the wind made the job very difficult, quite a lot of times.

I too have had many a bumpy landing in Perth over the last 40+ years. Tends to be better at night as I assume the wind is more consistent.

[@elwoodroadsmusic9639]

Magnificent catch! I often wonder how much our gusty easterlies affect landings. I've seen a go around once on flight radar, even better caught on film!

Happened to me just a few days ago on the 28th of December! Exact same air craft and conditions ! the pull and g force when you pitch back up is insane ! I shit bricks admittedly but it was cool ! It was the bank to the left and fluctuating thrust that got me worried !

[@jamovideos]

Yes Mark, insane is a great description of how it feels and when you look back down it is amazing how quickly they climb out to 3000'. Thanks for the comment.

[@RiverDanube]

That was interesting

[@matthewcumming9135]

I remember a flight from Melbourne to Perth 10 years ago where we had to go around. Plane was blasted to Port suddenly and off we went shot up into the sky really quick. The G force was amazing. The view was even better! 😏

Try 2 air pockets. One after both we had lost 5000 ft , brown pants big time back in the Ansett days

[@nikolauswolff5791]

Normal procedure. No reason to worry. The windshear warning system says " windshear windshear " trough the hot mike in the cockpit and the pilot flying pushes the TOGA take off go around button.

[@DeathByPancake7]

“Windshear windshear windshear” - 3 times

[@FelixExplores]

Nice video and amazing capture! May i ask why you are doing a go around? was there a emergency?!??!

[@jamovideos]

No emergency just a change of wind direction or speed that caused the go around.

[@FelixExplores]

@@jamovideos okay

[@haroldlipschitz9301]

Go arounds are common in wind shear conditions. No emergency necessary

[@perthplanes-ho3lj]

hey, great video! what seat was this?

[@jamovideos]

Thanks for your interest. I was seated in 38A. Cheers

[@videoconcord]

you must of gotten tired of holding onto the phone for hours filming. The go around is the safest way to go. Pilot have to do a lot of preparation before landing and make wise decision especially working with Air Control Traffic.
