Never trained go around due long land ! And agree that unprepared most would, given the situation over threshold, end doing the same as happened here.
I've folowed this thread with great interest from a safety perspective.

Your comment concerns me. Are there other Pilots out there who would continue with a 'long land' because they have never been 'trained go around due long land'.

I disagree with facelac's statement that unprepared most would etc, etc.

I'm sure training departments do teach the importance of landing within the touchdown zone. I'm also sure that most training departments will also train a 'go-around' if a touchdown has not been achieved in the zone.

A go-around from the touch down is something I have experienced in the sim and real life.

Please note that my comments here are in respect to 'facelac' comments and are not in relation to the incdident where we await the outcome.


Kind regards
