Wow, fdr....impressive but my gyros toppled in the midst of reading it. What totempole had described, I have seen it happened. Me thinks the easiest approach would be to do like what the autopilot do in a crosswind approach and landing to touchdown.

The KAL B773 NRT incident was exacerbated by the airline's recent emphasis on " reactive " simulator training requiring bounced landing recovery. Just because other fleets ( A330, B737, B744 and A300-600 ) had many incidences of botched bounced landings, the smart asses made it compulsory for all fleets to practise bounced landing recovery......sometimes with the unfortunate overemphasis. As far as I have experienced on the B777 for the last decade, it is extremely hard to bounce. The recent sim training must have contributed to the PF's misdiagnosing gear strut compression as a bounce.
