Another one of those incidents that’s all too easy to criticise from the comfort of your armchair at home at 1g.
Truth is go-arounds are insufficiently practiced (I’ve done 1 real one in 5 years) and when they are, it’s generally in the sim from DA and you know it’s coming. Both Airbus and Boeing have some pitfalls with Intermediate GAs (close to MAA or above it) and the 737 adds the complexity of disconnecting the AP on TOGA selection and giving you a load of pitch/power etc etc.
As with all accidents, it can never be distilled into one cause. It’s been a crazy 1.5 years in aviation and many of us feel rusty. In this case they had a bad day in the office, but recognised and recovered the situation.
