KenV, on Lauda the Direction Control Valve changed state (for reasons that were never positively identified) and the reverser was commanded to deploy - it didn't drift open like on Cranbrook. That...

The system is designed to make sure the reversers completely stow.
At Cranbrook, the problem was the T/R hadn't finished the stow cycle when the air/ground indication went 'air' - which closed the...

Just a clarification - it is possible to abort a landing after selecting reverse thrust as a last resort if the situation dictates (e.g. another aircraft or vehicle on the runway). It's something...

OK, I obviously did a lousy job of making my point, so I'll try again. Let's postulate that go-arounds occur every 2000 flying hours (my SLF experience suggests it's more frequent, but perhaps I've...

Having read the entire thread, I'm rather shocked and alarmed by the attitude that a go-around is in anyway an unusual or difficult maneuver.
As I've noted previously, I've been on the flight deck...

Rat, Boeing, Rolls, and the NTSB are on-site and involved in the investigation, granted in an 'advisory' role - the local authority will be prime. So at some level Boeing knows what's going on. As...

Certification requirement is that go-around thrust be available in 8 seconds from approach idle. That of course assumes they actually moved the throttles (my money says they didn't).
