I understood from LEM's post that he didn't get a STAB OUT OF TRIM warning. Otherwise it is 100% a go-around.
- I did too, Alaskan, but to be pedantic, LEM did not SAY that, and we have to remember also that, as 'safetypee' and others have said, the simulator is only as good as its computer programme, and it is important to know whether the failure to trim would produce a warning on 'the real thing'.
I have always 'verbalised' the trim, even on a Cat I approach, as I consider it to be part of airmanship, but there is NO QRH action if it does not happen. I believe I was once told that the landing would be firmer but not unacceptable, but I have no documentation for that.
Someone said earlier that the 737 classic would autoland with single a/p? I really doubt that as there would be no flare function armed. Can anyone substantiate that?
