but now you come back again...might you have not properly set the autothrottles up again for the approach speed? could you have disconnected the AT and forgot to hook them up again?
now you are circling in tough conditions looking out the window trying to find the runway and you are losing airspeed...but you aren't watching as you think the autothrottles will keep a safe speed and bang!
As in CFIT. ANC? TK/AMS?
