Hold onto your hats, because ol' DEI Delta is at it again. According to reports, a female pilot made an "unsteady" landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport in which the aircraft's wing actually clipped the runway.
From The New York Post:
The packed flight was heading home from Jacksonville, Fla., when the pilot attempted a go-around following an 'unstable approach' around 10:10 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The maneuver is considered routine where the pilot pauses the landing approach and pulls the plane back up to an altitude and configuration fit for another landing approach.
During the go-around, the left wing of the plane struck the runway.
The longer audio reportedly shows a male pilot taking control of the aircraft after the incident.
Thankfully, the latest near-disaster did not result in harm to anyone on board, as all 80 emerged unscathed.
'The Endeavor Air flight crew followed established procedures to safely enact a go-around at New York-LaGuardia. The aircraft landed safely and proceeded to its arrival gate,' Delta Airlines wrote in a statement. 'We apologize to our customers for the experience.'
Did someone say Endeavor Air? The regional airline that has made it a point to pat itself on the back for its commitment to hiring female pilots?
You don't say.
