Aviation fans were stunned to see a massive Cargolux Boeing 747 freighter appear to land at DFW… only to power back up and take off again! Many thought it was a touch-and-go, but this maneuver is actually known as a boltered landing — when the aircraft briefly makes contact with the runway but is unable to complete the landing and must go around.

In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down exactly what happened, why a boltered landing is different from a standard go-around, and what factors might have led the crew of this 747 to make the decision. From runway dynamics to aircraft performance and safety procedures, you’ll learn how professional pilots handle unexpected situations like this.
