In a day of A380 dramas, I was watching UAE 413 on planefinder this evening as it crossed the Sydney coast over the northern beaches ex NZ. It threw a lefty near Hornsby as it lined up to land at Mascot.
For some unknown reason, it reached the airport and then immediately flew off, turning right, and then headed towards Parramatta before having a second go at approaching the airport on the same approach path.
It didn't depart Mascot until around 2245 (around 50 minutes late).
Any clues as to what may have happened?
