this video of an AF 777 landing at Mumbai, starting to deploy thrust reversers and then doing a go-around. That sounds like a risky call to this SLF*. Isn't one committed to landing after thrust reverser deployment?
*My main qualification here is having flown *out* of Mumbai once right at the back of an A340 with AF's now-defunct low-cost long-haul operation Joon...
As I recall, the AFM says something to the effect of 'Go-Around not recommended after thrust reverser deployment'.
That being said, it does happen, and all
current Boeing products are designed to accommodate it (outgrowth of the 737-200 crash at Cranbrook - go-around after a snowplow appeared out of the snow after T/R deployment - one T/R didn't complete the stow cycle and lock prior to liftoff and aero forces caused it to deploy again.).
