A320 Balked Landing Masterclass

Master the Balked Landing: A320 Technical Deep Dive The transition from a landing flare to a full-power climb-out at low altitude is one of the most dynamic maneuvers an Airbus pilot can perform. In this Masterclass, we break down the Balked Landing (Go-Around after touchdown) from both a technical and operational perspective. We explore the critical differences between a standard Go-Around and a Balked Landing, focusing on the protection of the airframe, engine response times, and the specific flight control logic involved. Key Topics Covered: The Physics of the Maneuver: Understanding energy management when the wheels are already on (or near) the pavement. FCOM & FCTM Procedures: A step-by-step walkthrough of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure a safe transition. Autoflight vs. Manual Handling: How the ELACs and FACs manage pitch and yaw during the application of TOGA thrust at low speeds. Common Pitfalls: Why "bouncing" a landing requires a specific mindset shift to avoid tail strikes or runway excursions. The "Rejected Landing" Scenario: Identifying the point of no return and when it is safer to commit to the stop. Resources for Pilots: Technical Infographics: Check out our latest layout on the Go-Around phase of flight. CBT Modules: Interactive training for A320 systems is available now for our community members. Community Discussion: Join the conversation on the latest training standards and safety updates.
