I know QANTAS is very strict on stable approaches etc - but still, what about Bangkok?
Were there not a few changes in procedure and culture at QF as a result?
In some other respects the situation on VH-OJH at BKK on 23 Sept 1999 may have been similar. Certainly the changing wind and worsening weather was similar at both Bangkok and Toronto.
Transcripts from the CVR of OJH shows the Captain said ‘get it down, get it down, come on you’re starting your flare’.
Aboard AF358 the captain may have said something similar, if you can believe the dramatisation. I don't think TSB Canada has released CVR transcripts yet.
Any QF drivers care to comment on whether the go-around decision or any other safety culture was significantly re-engineered, following Bangkok?
