Yes the error on the t/o data in AKL could off and has happened in other airlines.
I believe the big mistake was during the following approach to land, yes he thought he had a tail pipe fire but he just about lost it over Manakau city and because he was trying to rush a landing he had to carry out a goaround. Waisting far more time than if he had just done a normal circuit/ ILS and landed.
Edited to sound more humble lest it happen to me one day!
