Fear of Landing

MAY 17, 2024

Zürich Airport has six runways (10/28, 14/32 and 16/34). Generally speaking, during the day with calm winds, runway 14 is used for arrivals and runway 28 is used for departures. However, when there are strong (over 8 knot) winds from the west or north, runway 32 is the preferred runway throughout the day, with 34 for heavies.

The last four digits are the time of the METAR/SPECI, which is always given in coordinated universal time (UTC). A “Z” is appended to the end of the time to denote the time is given in Zulu time (UTC) as opposed to local time. RVR is the distance a pilot can see down the runway in a moving aircraft. Now we get to the weather.

Flight 1344 departed from Dubai at 10:00 UTC. The pilot attempted to land in bad weather conditions twice, and, on the final attempt, the plane touched down but overshot the runway. Air India Express Flight 1344 aligned for Runway 10 at Kozhikode Airport but made a left turn and descended to land on Runway 28.
