Hi vilas, I agree.
This 2016 powerpoint from Cathay Pacific Group Safety department
https://flightsafety.org/wp-content/.../11/Ludlow.pdf sounds like their Military pilots have received SGI training experience in flight. (Slide 38). It also has some very good advice about briefings for SGI avoidance, use of Autopilot and using reduced thrust during Go Arounds when possible.
FlyDubai had lots of holes in the cheese lined up that night: Tired crew after long holding delay, light aircraft, full GA power due WS warning, single AP approach resulting in AP disconnect on initiation of the GA, etc.
If only they had briefed SGI as a threat.....?
