Aborted Landings at SFO: How Concerning Are They?
from Fifth & Mission · host San Francisco Chronicle
In two separate incidents last month, pilots approaching San Francisco International Airport had to abort landings at the last minute — just a few hundred feet from the ground — due to planes on the runway. Go-arounds, as the maneuvers are called, happen at every airport, but experts say the events at SFO are signs of an airport that's overburdened. Reporter Matthias Gafni joins host Demian Bulwa to review what happened and what's so unusual about these episodes. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?
