FCTM, FCOM, QRH are quite clear... A go around, after reversers deployment, should NOT be attempted! So, unless there was an emergency ( eg runway uncursion?) I cannot see what would justify a decision like this one. Just my 2 cts, having flown the Triple for nearly 20 years.
But then again…we know from previous events, they are indeed very very special @ Air France!
Another aknowledgement, why I will never let my family travel onboard AF…
Glad this one ended well! Thanks for sharing btw!
