About Cyclone Fengal

Cyclone Phengal made landfall in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on December 1, 2024, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds to the region. As a result of severe weather conditions, Chennai International Airport was temporarily closed on the same day. The cyclone caused widespread disruption, including flooding, power outages, and damage to infrastructure, leading to the go-around by IndiGo.

The Go-Around Manoeuvre

A go-around is a procedure in aviation where an aircraft aborts a landing and returns to the air. This is typically in response to safety concerns like unstable approach, poor visibility, or runway obstructions. The pilot initiates a go-around by throttling the engine to maximum power, raising the nose of the aircraft, and climbing to a safe altitude, following which it attempts to align and land at the present airport or divert to another airport. Go-arounds are an important safety procedure for preventing accidents. However, go-arounds are a rare occurrence, as a single short-haul commercial airline pilot may only conduct it once or twice per year.
