I've lived in Vancouver for 23 years, and the beauty of the area never gets old. I'm still thrilled every time I see it both in person and in videos like this.
Haha good that you posted this video, I was working that day Airside, I witnessed that 747 aborted landing, the pilot landed the aircraft slightly past the original touchdown spot for 747.. and the aircraft was carrying too much speed, probably not enough runway space and unable to make it stop. Good call by the pilot, safety is the first priority
What a Beautiful Sight Seeing and in this case one don't mind an Aborted take off so u can enjoy the seen a little longer and after all u landed Safely !! Thanks for the video clip I enjoyed this !! 😊😊
I was in YVR from New Zealand that exact day and I'm pretty certain I saw a 747 go over my hotel away from the approach flight path. Also when I was in Toronto I saw a 747 go around on flightradar, funny coincidence. Awesome video keep it up!
Very nice pointing out all these geographical locations. I had no idea Vancouver had this many high-rise buildings throughout the metro area. Incredible
@@TS-qd2uj Yes, from high above everything looks pristine and inviting. It’s the same thing in any major city I’ve lived in including Austin, Portland, and Seattle. Pretty sad we live in a society where it’s not safe traversing in downtown areas trying to admire architecture or eat in restaurants minding your own business only to get harassed by beggars, homeless encampments, someone yelling on street corners, or stepping around needles and defecation on streets.
@@TS-qd2uj this is happening in Toronto now. Not safe to go downtown anymore. I remember how bad downtown Vancouver was during my trip there about 2009…lots of safe injection sites etc…it was very scary, especially in Gastown. Never thought I’d see it here in TO
Well that missed approach sure gave you some amazing views. Few places more beautiful than Vancouver on a clear day. I had a missed approach at YVR once on an Air Canada A330 from Toronto but it wasn't a beautiful day like this and I was in the middle aisle.
Great video! I can see why the first landing attempt was aborted, the pilots must have felt there wasn't enough runway space for deceleration safely, seeing how close the end of the runway was at the end of the video. Excellent decision on the pilot's part.
Thanks, I wasn't expecting to video an aborted landing when I started to video tape the arrival. I was worried my battery would die before the go around and landing completed. On the second attempt we did end up pretty close to the end of the runway. I did wonder if that was the reason as we seemed to touch a bit farther and faster than usual for landings on that runway with 787 and 777, which don't need as much runway as 747.
Announcement said the runway wasn’t clear. Based on when it sounds like the plane landed it was further down then ideal touchdown point. approximately the middle of Canada Post.
My sister’s Lufthansa flight just did same thing 4-25-23 landing in Frankfurt. Something about tail wind speed being outside of their parameters. Pilots said nothing during maneuver and passengers were definitely surprised.
I caught this flight on approach[ not sure if it was first or second] on my cars dashcam as I crossed over the bridge. I noticed specifically after watching Paul Lucas' video the day before about how LH are the only ones flying 747's
Beautiful! Somewhere I've never been. So cool seeing mountains in the background w/ all these surrounding cities :) . Is it generally calm over there? Im near the other coast, lol.
If he was non stop from Frankfurt I bet his fuel tanks were getting down there. Lucky he didn't have to divert or go around a third time. Anyway beautiful clear day.
@@yvrtravels The reason fuel is something I think about is because I was a C47 (a DC3) crewmember in 'Nam and during the monsoon season landings were tough. One time our A/C aborted the landing twice due to weather. Going for the 3rd time he said "this is it, get ready for a water landing . If we don't go in this time we'll be in the water." Pucker factor goes up but that sticks with me to this day.
@@yvrtravels Well thank you, but in 'Nam we were really well trained for emergency and survival situations and that was nothing compared to taking ground and anti-acft fire. That's a story over a pitcher of beer (not BudLight thank you very much!).
Plane went too far beyond the touchdown zone. It is mandatory that the pilots abort the landing and initiate a go around as there is not enough runway to safely stop the plane. If you go past the Canada Post facility and you haven't landed, you went too far, especially for a big plane.
Date in subject should read April 25. This happened April 25,, not April 26. Re the text on the screen at 9:45 mentioning "runway touch", it actually never touched the runway as seen in the other video from outside the aircraft. Came pretty close.
Great video, thanks ! Years ago I was on a 747 landing at YVR. Unfortunately the weather was very bad, torrential rain.. seems the ILS went down on final and the pilot couldn't see the runway...pretty scary ! We landed ok on the second attempt...
I'm not exactly sure. I'm thinking it's a large bird as it's obviously moving but no sign of wings flapping unless it was coasting. Unlikely a drone as it's restricted airspace and it would have to be a fairly large drone to be seen
Some airlines with thier policies have become super paranoid about people filming and taking photos on board flights, even when written permission has been obtained in advance, it’s almost like the official secrets act has been breached, they claim that filming the approach and landing interferes with the instruments for landing as a reason for refusal and they don’t want flight attendants to be videoed on camera
I haven't seen any issues so far filming. With the relaxing of using small devices like tablets (in airplane mode) during landing I think it would be very hard to stop everyone.
The autoload (CATIII) is usually for poor visibility conditions, the majority of landings (still ILS CATI and CATII with vertical and horizontal guidance) are usually flown manual from the last 1000ft or so
@@yvrtravels I don't think that controllers in Canada can clear an aircraft to land if the runway isn't empty (they can in the US, which is crazy). This airplane had definitely received a landing clearance.
@@Nonoatfirst the consensus seems to be the landing was bit too far in on the runway, making the landing potentially unsafe to stop in time so the pilot elected to go around to be safe.
Good afternoon everyone (UK time GMT+1:00) aircrew do not abort a landing. (Take-off can be rejected or abandoned). In the case of a landing being unsafe, the crew elects to ‘go around’. The term ‘abort’ was quietly replaced in the 1960s and 1970s out of respect for the many female Air Traffic Controllers, the word was deemed too insensitive for obvious reasons.
I've lived in Vancouver for 23 years, and the beauty of the area never gets old. I'm still thrilled every time I see it both in person and in videos like this.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I've lived here many years and I always still thrilled coming back home and landing with the beautiful scenery
I’ve lived all of my 64 years here and still believe me it never gets old.

yes it did seem like we were bit farther along the runway than what felt like normal. on the landing we touched at an earlier point on the runway.
Muy buen firmado , excelente video , saludos Emiliano cuidad de la plata argentina
What beautiful shots of Vancouver!
thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Gentlemen a great video,thanks for posting.
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! l love the views of my home city! Thank you for posting!
You are very welcome. I love landing when the sun is out on a clear day
Sightseeing in a 747 along the coast - nice!
amazing views -thanks from Ireland . God Bless !
Your welcome from Canada!

You are very welcome. It was an unexpected bonus to film more of my city because of the abort.
Yeah I can see the Canadian rockies from a far!
So beautiful
glad you enjoyed it.
AMAZING!
10:40 University of British Columbia. ...and I see my home too!
When in doubt go around! Great video.
Thanks!

Thanks, I’ve had a few aborted landings over the years but this was my first in a 747. Surprisingly quiet and smooth

Thank you, yes because of the limited land, more and more condominiums are being built, particularly around transit hubs.
And if you get down to street level, you will be overwhelmed by the drug epidemic downtown and the crime rate that has all but destroyed this city.

good to see a 747 - 400 going strong in 2023 ,
Looks like more 747s are coming back at least in the short term.

I've landed many times at YVR, but that was definitely one of the most scenic approaches I've ever had. And two approaches for the price of one!

I've had a few aborted landing experiences over the years, but this was the first time in a 747. Definitely a surprise when it happens.
This was the April 25 flight. The date is wrong in the title. Should read April 25, not 26.
@@viscount757 oops, good catch, my mistake. I will update it. thank you!

It's definitely still an amazing plane even if it's a bit outdated compared to ones like the 787 Dreamliner.

I can be busy in the city, but there are many parks and only 20-30 minutes drive to the north mountains were it's very calm for hiking.
you can also point out UBC and Stanley Park.
That was rather interesting! Greetings from Chilliwack. 😀. I grew up in Richmond though.
Greetings back from Richmond. I've lived here about 35 years now😀
Lovely video. Maybe I missed it in the reactions, but what was the reason for the Go-Around? Thanks for sharing this with us. The video that is. :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. The consensus is the plane was too far along on the runway to safely land
@@yvrtravels Thank you. Lovely extra view!
If he was non stop from Frankfurt I bet his fuel tanks were getting down there. Lucky he didn't have to divert or go around a third time. Anyway beautiful clear day.
It was a non stop from Frankfurt, I think he would have been okay for a few more attempts with fuel. Not that I wanted to keep trying again! :)

Had an A350 Lufthansa abort once at YVR in 2018

Thank you for letting me know, I have corrected the date.
It was the continues sound that made it so weird as it flew over us
Great video, thanks ! Years ago I was on a 747 landing at YVR. Unfortunately the weather was very bad, torrential rain.. seems the ILS went down on final and the pilot couldn't see the runway...pretty scary ! We landed ok on the second attempt...
thanks, wow that would have been scary in bad weather especially if ILS was down. at least the weather was perfect on this day.
Seemed fairly high on the approach..late touchdown and go around I image. Plane still on runway also doesn’t help.
what is the object flying through the shot at 8.48 ?

Hmm just watched. I guess landings aren’t automatic? Their manual?
My understanding is almost all landings are manual. Planes can land on auto pilot, but there are strict conditions to use it and most pilots don't.
@@yvrtravels yes they are
Almost all pilots prefer to manually land as it is recommended for/as training and so as not to rely on autopilot.
The autoload (CATIII) is usually for poor visibility conditions, the majority of landings (still ILS CATI and CATII with vertical and horizontal guidance) are usually flown manual from the last 1000ft or so
Why aborted the approach? I'll don't understand the cabin crew...
supposedly the runway wasn't clear, but do not know why or what.
First landing attempt was the first officer. Totally unstabilized approach. Second landing was by the autopilot doing a cat 3 ILS auto land.
Why was the landing aborted?
It wasn’t clear but I believe another aircraft wasn’t off the runway yet
Too deep

Dramatic footage, both because of the locale's natural beauty and the go-around process with its steep banking turns at low altitude.
it was a treat to have such a gorgeous day and the view twice.
This may have been you flying in? Seems to have been recorded around the same time! czcams.com/video/HyBC0Njtfc4/video.html
Yes same flight from the outside! Both inside and outside views!
Pretty boring.
