== On the conditions of the go-around (protected edit request 2 January 2025) ==

 

Quoting from the [[Jeju Air Flight 2216#Accident|#Accident section]]:

 

:This looks like another instance of an assertion in the article that isn't cited in the source. "Being forced to go around after the landing gear was not deployed" makes it sound as if the go-around was a consequence of not being able to deploy the gear. It is perfectly possible that the go-around decision was a consequence of the bird strike, and the confirmed fact that (as in any go-around) it was performed with the gear stowed does not rule out it having been previously lowered prior to the bird strike and then retracted for the GA. At the very least, the current wording needs to have a [citation needed] tag. [[User:DaveReidUK|DaveReidUK]] ([[User talk:DaveReidUK|talk]]) 07:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

::I think the current text is a combined (mis)interpretation of the timeline given by The Independent and the text in the BBC source, but as I said above, The Independent is the ''only'' source that says {{tq|"9am: The plane attempted to land on the runway but failed to deploy its landing gear"}}, all other sources saying 9am was the time of the go-around. I firmly believe the Independent either misinterpreted a different source or just wrote their timeline poorly, so even a [citation needed] wouldn't cut it and a rewrite is needed IMO. Given how close they were to landing (1.5~2.5 nmi?), they really probably did have gear down before the mayday.
