Jetstar flight climbs unexpectedly during Sydney landing
A Jetstar flight from Perth to Sydney unexpectedly climbed 500 metres during its descent on Monday night, prompting an investigation. The aircraft was approximately 4,000 feet into its descent when pilots overrode autopilot and gained altitude before resuming landing safely. Engineers found no mechanical issues, though turbulence experienced during the flight will be a key focus of the investigation into why pilots made the decision to abort the initial descent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
