But the incident of this post here really sounds concerning, according to The Aviation Herald [0]:
> The aircraft accelerated and climbed through about 4000 feet at 197 knots over ground when the aircraft began to rapidly descend to 2175 feet MSL (1825 feet AGL) within 17 seconds accelerating to 280 knots over ground, climbed and descended a second time reaching a minimum height of about 1700 feet AGL. The aircraft subsequently climbed to and stabilized at 3000 feet, positioned for another approach and landed without further incident about 12 minutes after the initiation of the go around.
> The British AAIB reported they have opened an investigation stating: "High speed and high nose down pitch attitude during go-around, London Stansted."
