JanetFlight, could not agree more...nice call.
OKhalsa;
A fine aviator's story, thanks.
Re,
It was a humbling experience and it showed what tunnel vision can do. The F/O swore that he called Go Around 2 times ( the F/E meekly confirmed that ) before hitting the go levers on the third call! I swear I only heard him mumbled the last one!!
An F/O friend suggested a solution to tunnel vision; I've seen it used, ...once, and it did save the day. FWIW:
The first word/sound we recognize in almost all situations including high-stress ones is our name.
Tunnel-vision can be tough to break through but using the PF's name can help do that...If "Jack" is the PF and it's going to be a mess, how about
:
"JACK!, JACK! - GO-AROUND, GO-AROUND, JACK!!) instead of just calling Go-around? A thought...
