What happens when air traffic control tells a pilot to GO AROUND... after the airplane has already landed? That's the unusual situation involving FedEx Flight 82 at Memphis International Airport. During the landing, air traffic control received an apparent runway obstruction alert from the airport's surface surveillance system (ASDE). The controller instructed the FedEx crew to go around, but the aircraft had already touched down! The reported obstruction turned out to be a false indication. In today's video, Captain Steeeve breaks down the exchange between the pilots and air traffic control, explains how runway surveillance systems work, and discusses what pilots must consider when an unexpected go-around instruction arrives after touchdown. Could a crew safely execute that instruction? What happens if the aircraft is already committed to landing? And how do pilots make those critical decisions in seconds?
