Final Report B38M (EI-HET), vicinity London Stansted UK, 4 December 2023
On 4 December 2023, a Boeing 737-8200 crew misjudged positioning onto the ILS approach for arrival at London Stansted. Having decided to go around, they then continued to climb above the 3,000 feet missed approach altitude which they had failed to set until alerted by the controller. The descent following a 1,000 feet level bust then continued back through the missed approach altitude at almost 9,000 fpm with an EGPWS ‘PULL UP’ Warning just as recovery from 1,740 feet agl was being initiated. After levelling at 3,000 feet, radar-vectoring onto the ILS was provided with the approach then completed normally.
