It may have seemed like a close shave, but the dramatic landing attempt was all part of standard safety procedures for Singapore Airlines (SIA) pilots.
SIA pilots of flight SQ213 had to approach the runway twice and performed a "go-around" before safely land a plane amid strong winds in Perth, according to a Facebook video by user Chris Perry last Saturday (Oct 31).
The video has garnered over 2.6 million views, 7,300 likes and 1,800 comments as of Monday morning.
In the video, an SIA plane can be seen approaching the runway at Perth Airport.
However, the aircraft is seen abruptly banking to one side, bringing its right wing seemingly close to the ground.
The plane then pulls upward, climbs away from the asphalt and returns to the air before making another landing attempt.
"High winds at Perth caused my sisters flight to have to go round again," Perry wrote in his post. "Thankfully the second attempt was a success."
In the comments section, many users pointed out that the wing was quite close to the ground and that the situation looked dangerous.
"Inches away from death, literally," said one. "That was a very calm and skilled pilot."
"That wing looks so close to the ground! Far out," another commented.
Some, however, felt that the video made the incident seem far more dangerous than the situation actually was.
"Pilot checking in. That was pretty sketchy, but not that dangerous," a user claimed.
"That must have been pretty frightening for many on board. But a go-around is a standard safety procedure and happens regularly at airports around the world," another stated, adding that SIA only chooses "the best of the best".
A go-around is a standard procedure in which pilots discontinue an approach or landing and climb away before attempting another landing.
Many users also praised the pilots for their skill in operating the aircraft.
"These pilots are highly trained. They know when to put the kite down or do a go-around for safety.
Another said: "Well done to the pilots, hope your sister wasn't too shaken up."
Responding to queries from AsiaOne, an SIA spokesperson said that SQ213 experienced strong winds on approach into Perth International Airport last Saturday.
"As a result, the pilots decided to conduct a go-around," the spokesperson said. "The Airbus A350-900 aircraft landed safely at 1230hrs (local time) and taxied to the gate."
SIA also stressed that the safety of customers and crew is their top priority.

虽然看起来惊险万分，但这次惊险的着陆尝试完全是新加坡航空公司（SIA）飞行员的标准安全程序的一部分。
根据用户 Chris Perry 上周六（10 月 31 日）在 Facebook 上发布的视频，新加坡航空 SQ213 航班的飞行员在珀斯遭遇强风时，不得不两次接近跑道并执行“复飞”才安全着陆。
截至周一上午，该视频已获得超过 260 万次观看、7300 个赞和 1800 条评论。
视频中可以看到一架新加坡航空公司的飞机正在接近珀斯机场的跑道。
然而，可以看到飞机突然向一侧倾斜，右翼似乎接近地面。
随后飞机拉升，离开沥青路面，重新升空，然后再次尝试着陆。
佩里在帖子中写道：“珀斯的大风导致我姐姐乘坐的航班不得不再次返航。谢天谢地，第二次尝试成功了。”
在评论区，许多用户指出机翼离地面很近，情况看起来很危险。
“真是命悬一线，”有人说。“那是一位非常冷静且技术娴熟的飞行员。”
“那机翼看起来离地面好近啊！太远了！”另一位网友评论道。
然而，有些人认为这段视频让事件看起来比实际情况危险得多。
“飞行员报到。这有点可疑，但也没那么危险，”一位用户评论道。
“这对机上很多人来说肯定非常可怕。但复飞是标准的飞行安全程序，在世界各地的机场都会定期进行，”另一位人士表示，并补充说新加坡航空只选择“最优秀的飞行员”。
复飞是飞行员中止进近或着陆并爬升离开，然后再尝试另一次着陆的标准程序。
许多用户也称赞飞行员驾驶飞机的技术娴熟。
“这些飞行员都训练有素。他们知道什么时候该放下风筝，什么时候该为了安全起见复飞。”
另一位网友说：“飞行员们干得好，希望你妹妹没有受到太大惊吓。”
针对AsiaOne的询问，新加坡航空公司发言人表示，SQ213航班上周六在珀斯国际机场进近时遭遇强风。
发言人表示：“因此，飞行员决定复飞。这架空客A350-900飞机于当地时间12:30安全着陆，并滑行至登机口。”
新加坡航空公司也强调，乘客和机组人员的安全是他们的首要任务。
