CHENNAI: Round 180 passengers on board an Air India flight from Singapore had a slim escape on Wednesday morning after the plane was pressured to abort touchdown simply moments earlier than landing at Chennai airport.The Airbus, scheduled to land at 10.15am, descended to almost 200 ft earlier than the pilots initiated a go-around resulting from a excessive fee of descent and sudden crosswinds, officers confirmed.In response to the Airports Authority of India (AAI), the strategy was deemed “unstabilised” — a time period utilized in aviation when an plane’s descent doesn’t meet protected touchdown parameters. “There was a excessive descent fee, and the wind circumstances shifted unexpectedly close to the runway, prompting the crew to go round,” an official mentioned.The flight finally circled again and landed safely on its second try about half-hour later.No accidents have been reported, and passengers disembarked with out incident.Aviation sources highlighted {that a} protected touchdown requires a exact alignment of descent velocity, fee, and trajectory — elements that have been compromised on this occasion resulting from climate and strategy instability.The incident provides to a sequence of latest air security scares at Chennai airport. In March, a flight from Mumbai suffered a tail strike throughout touchdown, and final October, an Indigo plane from Jaipur was pressured right into a touch-and-go manoeuvre underneath comparable circumstances.Authorities are anticipated to assessment the most recent incident and look at wind sample knowledge and flight logs to find out if any additional motion is required.
