So who would have the chance to look up localiser MDA whilst all this is going on? Do you commit that to memory??

Just say it really wasn`t your day, if alt sel was set above a/c alt (new sop) and during the dive in vert speed to try and establish the glide the airbus has a momentary overspeed, the FD would revert to open climb. Fine, almost an automatic go-around you might say.... Except if you are at EHAM the missed approach alt may still be beneath you...

The only option I can see is to close the thrust levers and use vert speed or disconnect a/p and athr to sort out the mess. Not forgetting that in order to sequence the flight plan for a missed approach on a bus you need to select toga....

AAAAAAaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!

Will stop having nightmares now.
