alf, I have just realised there is one point that hasn't been made clear enough.
There was no windshear.
The reaction was to a predictive windshear warning, and in the subsuquent manoeuvre there was no windshear experienced.
This comes from a member of the crew.
To put some likely figures in your scenario...
The landing wt would probably have been around 245T.
Lets assume they were flap 30.
Vref 30 @245T is 142kts
Vs must be about 109kts.
So there you are, 9 kts above 1g stall speed, at or about 1g, pointing towards a 3000' bit of dirt, and you are still merely "concerned"???
Thats a big set of cahones you've got
