“It was the day when aviation theory became a very strong and frightening practice for me… I fly a lot, I have seen everything, but today’s Ryanair flight from Bologna to Alicante will be remembered for a long time. It all started in Italy, where the takeoff was delayed by almost 3 hours due to a storm. When we finally took off, the turbulence was so strong that even the flight attendants were forbidden to stand up from their seats for half an hour. And we were still sitting in row 25 – at the very tail of the plane, where you feel the shaking and engine roar the most!” – she began the post.
However, the woman emphasized that the real adrenaline awaited in Spain, in Alicante.
“Approaching the ground from the continent side – lightning and storm all around. Just moments before the runway, the engines suddenly roar at full power, pressing the body into the seat and we shoot straight back up! That feeling when your guts tighten from fear… It was my first ever go-around (aborted landing). It turns out that due to gusty winds, landing on the tail side was simply unsafe.

The pilots acted perfectly – they didn’t take risks, went around for a second circuit, circled the plane over the sea, and successfully landed us from the other side – directly against the wind. When the wheels finally touched the ground, tears just poured from me from the tension built up over those few hours.
The fear of flying did not appear, but today I got live proof of how professional the pilot system is. They will do everything to keep us safe – even if it means experiencing a few minutes of horror. I am already safe, drinking tea and trying to get my heart back in place.
Has anyone of you ever experienced that sudden climb back into the sky just before landing? How did you manage your emotions?” – wrote the founder of the brand “TADO’s fashion.”
