A word of caution though. A flurry of hands attempting to select something other than a go-around can result in a continued descent, without any meaningful monitoring, and no clear plan of action.

If I read this right, Olendirk has recently finished the type rating/training. So a level of abnormal procedure and unfamiliar procedure, applied to a an early go around, could result in anything other than a normal go around.

I'm not saying it's wrong. But you brief to do an approach. And you brief to do a go-around if the approach doesn't work. Anything else is potentially making it up as you go along. Beware of 2 different plans happening at the same time.

I base that on a sim event!
