The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) assured this Thursday that the flights in the air terminals of the country, particularly in the Mexico City International Airport (AICM), “are still carried out with the strictest conditions of safety, protection, care and attention for passengers”.
Through a communiquéthe SICT through the Federal Aviation Agency (AFAC), ruled on the air incidents that occurred during the landings of a Volaris plane and another from Aeromexico.
The missed approach maneuver, missed approach or ‘go-around’, as they are known in the aeronautical environment, is considered the safest of all to land at any airport and is the best decision that the pilot and/or a controller can make ”, he exposed.
AFAC detailed that the maneuver is timely in the following cases:
- Because some plane that landed has not vacated the runway in use.
- Because a plane is about to take off, but has not been authorized to take off, and another plane is approaching the runway; the latter must “go on the air” (as a security measure).
- When an aircraft or a vehicle crosses, invades or obstructs the runway.
- Weather and/or visibility conditions (which makes it safer to “go airborne”).
- Sudden changes in wind intensity.
- Electrical failures on the runway or in airport facilities.
- Some abnormal condition in the aircraft operating systems.
- Tremors or earthquakes, which make it necessary to review the conditions of the carpeting of the track.
- Any other emergent or unexpected situation that requires the crew to “go airborne”.
Regarding the incident that occurred on Tuesday night, Aeromexico I affirm that the incident was not serious not similar to what happened May 7th with Volaris.
