There is no doubt that a lack of currency played a major part in this incident,the fact that the aircraft was essentially out of control close to the ground makes us ask ,how this could happen?.I have never been an advocate of the move from 6 month checks to yearly ones as any cost benefit is outweighed by a dread/fear of passing your check .The simulator should be a booster to REINFORCING your competency .A standard two engine missed approach should now be regulated into recurrent training.The language could be changed to refer to "break off your approach,climb 3000,turn left heading etc either demonstrated or brought in by SOP that below a certain altitude say 1000,TOGA is applied ,whilst above other modes can and may be used.I remember this being practised as a result of a similar incident some years ago and I am saddened to see the message has been lost.Just a personal view from an old trainer.
