  Very good discussion. Interesting comment: > Originally Posted by Capt Kremin: There was nothing wrong with the aircraft.

The subsequent go-around was incorrectly handled in that they retracted the gear before the initial stage of flap, hence the config warning.

    Note that the rest of the posts after him disagree and point out that they were on a stable approach to the left most runway and the aircraft then turned a lot more to the left. That's not something that would happen if it was only a wrong runway selection.

  In the original article link's comment section there is a post claiming to be from a passenger on an Air France 777 landing around 6am also on 5th April 2022 (AF655 DXB-CDG) (F-GSQK) which they say also did a go around after veering left close to the ground. Assuming similar weather conditions it would also have been an instrument landing using ILS data. The topic of potential 5G interference with ILS comes up in the linked pprune rumors-news discussion and other early assessment like Juan Browne's Youtube linked elsewhere [1] Not that 5G is the only explanation for any ground problems, but these days I am just as likely to believe the alleged passenger comment is mud in the water from some motivated agent provocateur or troll as I am to believe the story is possibly true. But either way the truthieness of it is interesting -- although for completely different reasons. [1] https://youtu.be/cslSQB5mgyc https://youtu.be/cslSQB5mgyc
