A Smartlynx Malta Airbus A321-200 on behalf of Wizz Air, registration 9H-SLG performing flight
W6-3672 from Milan Bergamo (Italy) to Iasi (Romania) with 107 people on board, was on approach to Iasi when the crew advised they did have a problem with their navigation systems. 22 vehicles of Emergency Services took their stand by positions at the runway. The crew performed an instrument approach to runway 14 but came in too high initiating a go around at about 850 feet MSL (approximately 440 feet AGL, on a 3 degree glideslope the aircraft should have been at 210 feet AGL) about 900 meters/3000 feet short of the runway threshold. The crew climbed to 2000 feet MSL, positioned for a visual approach to runway 14 passing 900 meters/3000 feet before the runway threshold now at about 650 feet MSL (240 feet AGL) and landed safely. Emergency services did not need to intervene.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Iasi about 5 hours after landing.
