B737 @ Aberdeen

There has been a well documented report in the popular press of a botched B737 go around @ABZ relatively recently. Subject to an initial AAIB report and curious radio silence around here. The modern 737s have a history of go arounds that have had less than optimum outcomes. The problem lies in the integration of the automation into an old technology airframe. If you know what you are doing and have good knowledge of the autopilot / auto throttle interface coupled with config / position on approach considerations then most go around scenarios can be handled proficiently with less ‘startle’ etc. Would be interested to know what happened for the purpose of education.
