During an approach to Runway 28 Left (L) at Dublin Airport (EIDW), and while self-positioning
towards the Final Approach Fix (FAF), permission was requested for an orbit because the
Aircraft, which was being flown manually, had not established on the Instrument Landing
System (ILS). An orbit to the right was approved by ATC. While in the orbit, the Aircraft’s bank
angle briefly reached 44 degrees, which was followed by two low-airspeed events and an
altitude deviation. The orbit manoeuvre was abandoned, and following radar vectors, the
Aircraft established on the ILS and conducted an uneventful approach and landing.
