## Resource

A near-miss scare at Timaru’s Richard Pearse Airport turned out to be a routine go-around—no emergency, just standard procedure. Air New Zealand’s flight NZ5193 circled back after being told to wait for another plane cleared to land first. The confusion? A Flightradar24 viewer misread the maneuver as a close call. Airline safety chief Nathan McGraw confirmed pilots followed all rules and landed safely later. No tower at the airport? That might explain why observers sometimes jump to conclusions.
