Is this the case ? I understood the FO mistakenly pushed the TOGA Pb instead of disengaging the A/T (commom error) and the CP took over quickly but forgot to disengage the A/T.
Nope, FO wanted to Go Around due lack of required visual ref bye Captain decided to take over and land.. there is a big difference. If you simply disconnect the AP and hold the thrust levers closed against the servos and land deep and hard....the rest is history.
Talking to a F/O the other day who flies the A330 for same airline.
They don't have 330.
Coupled approaches are limited to 3.25 degree glide and Trabzon is more than this so its not possible.
There are no SOPS preventing manual flight but on a heavy it is not advised to disengage the automatics too early, on the other and the loss of manual flying skills are well documented.
Doubt we will ever get to the bottom of this incident
