First solo. Borked go around results in spin. Serious injury.

I can't speak to the holder of the video recorder, but if I was holding in, a couple of seconds later it would be lying on the ground with maybe footage of my feet as I legged it to help.

There's plenty not right there. Very bad outcome.  Lucky to survive. Nev

Balked. I had to do a go around on My first solo in a DHC-1.  Very tricky manoeuvre to execute safely..  The student doesn't have a lot of experience to draw on at that stage of their training.  Nev

BORKED - "not working properly, broken."

Ah, yes, sure was that in the middle and at the end of that baulked T&G or whatever.

I had a memorable go around DHC-1 early solo - radio decided enough was enough during spin and aeros practice so on return to YMMB I anxiously waited for the green light on final, didn't get it so moved to dead side and climbed away - got the light the next time but also got an escort car on landing - something about proximity to aerials on the tower.

 

Tower lights used to be used a fair bit

I suspect I'm more of a gamer than you, borked is a pretty common expression in that world. But let's not get hung up on a word. It was just the first word that came to mind when I watched the video
