My earllier post disappeared into "thin air" so here's a follow up. FWIW
One of the most practiced maneuvers professional pilots fly during every sim visit is the Go-Around.
Are we to believe that a highly 'experienced' crew (their words, not mine) botched a go-around? A maneuver we are completely prepared for? A maneuver we brief on every approach? (possible but not likely)
I'm must be missing something here.
Safety audit. Banned from Europe. What's that got to do with this accident? They weren't flying an approach into an airport in Europe. Until we know more about this accident, how do we know this crew was a 'safety' concern. A310/A300 crews have known about AP behavior in a go-around via Blue pages since the China Airlines go-around accident in Tokyo back in the 90s.
Having read the METAR and the approach, there should have been nothing 'overly" challenging for this aircraft or crew on this approach at night. Risk management training (which they should have received) would have most likely covered spatial disorientation as part of a prelanding brief by the PF. I'm guessing.
Anyone care to comment?
