It would be interesting to know if AXB do much training in baulked landings. From what has surfaced so far, it appears that it was a deep touchdown on a contaminated runway with a considerable tailwind component. There is also some evidence that they were trying to get airborne again at a late stage. Since the EK accident in DXB, many airlines have put increased focus on stability and the option to reject up to reverser selection.

I prefer to think of pilot actions (or inaction) as opposed to “mistakes”, at least until something official comes out. They may have done things that were incorrect but we don’t know yet whether that was due to SOPs, technical failures, training, environmental issues, incapacitation, etc.
