Air traffic controllers at SFO warned pilots of an Asiana flight about low altitude.
On Sunday, February 23, 2025, Asiana Airlines flight OZ212, operating from Seoul Incheon (ICN) to San Francisco (SFO) performed a go around after Air traffic controllers alerted pilots about low altitude.
The flight, operated by a five-year-old Airbus A350-900 (registration HL8382), climbed back to 4,700ft for a safe approach and landing on runway 28L about 15 minutes after the incident.
This incident reminds the accident on the morning of July 6, 2013. A Boeing 777-200ER operating the flight crashed on final approach into San Francisco International Airport. Of the 307 people on board, 3 died; another 187 occupants were injured, 49 of them seriously.
The tail section broke off after striking the seawall short of the runway. The investigation by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded that the accident was caused by the flight crew’s mismanagement of the airplane’s final approach.
