This is the story of go air flight 811. On the 11th of november 2019 a go air airbus a320 was making the trip from bagpur india to bangalore india. The A320 is massively popular in india, multiple of the countries largest airlines operate the type from indigo to air india to todays video’s subject go air. Just to put into perspective how dominant the airbus a320 is in indian aviation delhi airport is the busiest in the world for airbus a320 flights. On this day it was one of those A320s that was making the trek from nagpur to bangalore with 180 people on board. While on the ground at nagpur, the pilots of flight 811 kept a close eye on the weather at bangalore, the weather was fine at that moment with visibility hovering around 2000 meters but they expected it to get worse and be down to 800 meters in the near future. They added 4100 kilos or 9000 pounds of extra fuel so that the plane could hold over bangalore for about 2 hours and the divert to either chennai or hyderabad if needed. With the first officer at the controls Flight 811 departed nagpur at 12:24 am utc time and the plane made its way to bangalore without much issue but once it got to bangalore problems started to prop up, the weather at bangalore wasnt the best.the pilots got to know that the visibility was 200 meteres, the runway visual range, which is basically the distance that a pilot would be able to see if he were on the centerline of the runway was 1500 meters. Now this was bad, but as the plane was in contact with approach control while it was being vectored for an approach onto runway 09, the visibility at the airport kept falling. At 1:44 UTC the ATC said “All Station Visibility 200 meters and RVR 1200 meters”, this would be the last bit of weather update that the pilots would get from ATC. By 1:46 am UTC the plane was established on the localiser for the ILS approach onto runway 09 and flight 811 was handed off to the tower controllers who would then guide the plane all the way down to the runway. But unknown to the crew as they were flying the last few miles to the runway the visibilty at bangalore international kept falling. As the A320 dropped in altitude the first officer took control of the plane and stabilized it. At an altitude of about 220 feet the autopilot was disconnected and the pilots began searching for the runway in the fog. The plane kept losing altitude, the first officer was now pulling back on the sidestick performing whats known as a flare. During the flare when youre right over the runway you pull back power and you increase pitch a bit thereby reducing your rate of descent, this way you touch down smoothly on the runway. Note how i said “over the runway” that is not where the pilots of flight 811 found themselves. You see during the approach they kept expecting the runway to appear through the fog but it never did. The captain looked down at the primary flight display and to his horror he saw that they were not lined up with the runway. They were now over a grassy area with the runway no where to be seen, realizing this the first officer immediately called for a go around but the plane was already on its way down and the main landing gear touched down into the grassy land. As the engines were spooling up for the go around, the left hand engine engine number one ingested some debris that was kicked up by the massive plane landing in the grass. As the plane lifted off again the pilots were hit by a barrage of warnings, right after they took off again they got a EGPWS waring about obstacles in the area, then that was immediately followed up by a low speed warning and after that engine one stall warning. All three warnings hit the pilots within a few seconds of each other and the list of warings left them with a disabled left hand engine. Now the pilots of flight 811 had to perform a go around on just one engine. Dont fret though, planes are tested to their limits and back and a one engine go around is well within the capabilities of the Airbus a320. With the left engine out of commission the plane slowly climbed away from what might have been a catastrophe. Once in the air the pilots stabilized the plane at a safe altitude they waited over the city of bangalore to
