In this video, we practice a planned “go-around” procedure, which my instructor explains at the start. As we turn to final approach for runway 28 at Millville Airport, an unexpected encounter with a large bird crossing our flight path prompts my instructor to take quick evasive action to avoid a collision.

After that brief moment of excitement, we smoothly resume and complete the go-around procedure as planned.
