BOEING 747 'GO AROUND, GO AROUND' At 200 feet, .. Houston Airport.(A/C on the runway)

A Real GO AROUND in Houston airport at a LOW altitude
both pilots ensured MAX POWER available for a SAFE GO AROUND maneuver

FO is flying on a nice VFR day. El Cap has his hand on the yoke the whole time and then the throttles. Not just under the FOs hand backing him up, he's on top of the FO's hand. Gawd I hate flying with guys like CAPTAIN BOEING! You want to babysit and micro-manage? Fine. Please fly every leg. I'll work the radios and put you on my no-fly list as soon as we finish the trip.

34 yrs at a major and I never rode the controls like this captain. I was always ready in case something happened, but unless this is the F/O’s first flight on OE this Capt needs some CRM refresher training.

42 years flying, 33 for a major, I kept my hands on my laps. It takes a nano second to reach the controls, no need for riding the control. It only displays a weak Captain.

[AlexandrosV]

This Captain‘s sickness of having his hand on the yoke is madness. CRM ZERO!

[Obiwan]

That Captain looks like a CRM nightmare

[Incognito-vcwj]

Captain, take your hands off those controls! Pilot flying is PILOT FLYING.

[chiasson]

I would have a major problem with the this captain shadowing the controls. You want to fly it Captain? Be my

[robertdoell]

Thank You to the guy who caught the ATC calling for the GA. I had not seen anything or heard that callout. I do agree with all the comments of the Captain over handling and stepping on his FO who was doing a great job on his own.

[martinfierz]

For more than 10 years Capt on B747, for more than 30 years Capt on Boeing planes my simple comment is: This task sharing is a nightmare!

[streammlock]

Just let the captain be PF if he is going to manipulate the controls anyway

[jimosborne]

Never saw a Captain so darn nervous in VRF conditions on smooth day. Holding the yoke on final and holding his hand over the FA hand on the go around. It would make me quite uncomfortable to see such evidence of a lack of confidence.

[eekamoose]

For anybody who can't imagine how this feels for the FO, imagine that you are driving your car through some curves at high speed and then your passenger puts a hand out and holds the steering wheel...

[vanair]

Nervous type of cap, are you? Can hear it in your voice. Having 24 hears of flying experience, including last 7 on 744, this is a good example of how CRM is not applied.

[tailwindkts]

It’s one of those guys ! Changed airspeed bug by 1 KNOT .

I'm a private pilot. Never been an FO or Captain of a 747. I do know one thing that has always been like the prime directive of Star Trek. Stating "I have control" is the prime directive of flying regardless of the type of plane being flown. Either the captain says, "I have control" or keep your F**king hands off the controls. You want to fly the plane? Say, "I have control" and then fly it. That is BASIC flight protocol. ZERO Excuse for not following that procedure. ZERO, NONE, ZIP, NADA! That type of cockpit mismanagement causes accidents.

[TakeDeadAim]

That GA was a fuster cluck on the Capt's part. No need for fire walling the sticks like that. The PF was well in control.

[NN-uuqo]

That was not calm and secure captain. It was nervous, insecure, and controlling captain.

[FlatSpin]

WTAF is that skipper doing? I would never do that to an FO, and if I had been that FO I’d have just handed him control and let him fly it. What an absolute CRM nightmare 😮

[griam]

It appeared it was the FO’s leg. So why did the Capt have his hand all over the yoke?

[dodoubleg]

I’m SO glad you showed the 2nd/successful approach. Great frame of reference. Enjoyed the clip. ✈️ 👍✌️
