BELOW 500 RA:-
Autopilot disconnect...............Go Around
Nav Set Failure..........................Go Around
2 or more Deviation Flashes..........Go Around
Stab out of trim..........................Go Around
If the interim report is correct and the A/P was disconnected at approx 300' with the remaining 30 odd seconds before touchdown (based on 500' per min) was there any chance of a go around without the aircraft hitting the deck first anyway?
I would assume that the minimum height includes the time taken for the engines to spool up etc, as well as some decision making time for the crew?
