My last post described what appeared to be a close call involving our United flight 373 during an attempted landed at SFO Saturday afternoon.
A high school classmate who I reconnected with a few years ago found these flight data in the tracking app, Flight Aware, that appear to confirm our experience.
It shows altitude and flight speed throughout our United flight. Way over on the right, you see altitude and air speed both fall as we make our first approach to the airport in San Francisco.
But just before we land, both increase again suddenly at the time Meda saw another aircraft below us. The data appears to confirm that our flight aborted the landing, gained altitude again, then circled around and made another approach that ended in a successful landing.
