Hi,
a small addition of power and its prompt removal would have made all the difference here - why didn't it happen?
There seems to be a common agreement that a quick burst of power would have made all the difference.
But how much extra flying speed might you expect to gain from a quick burst? 5kts or so? I don't think 5 kts would make a significant difference to the total lift available from the wing. A pitch change makes a bigger difference.
If I was flying a conventional aircraft, then the burst of power would help raise the nose, and the extra 5 kts would make the aircraft feel lighter in pitch. Unfortunately when Bernard Ziegler designed the A320, he didn't put the aircraft into Direct Law during landing, so we are stuck with the feel it has with a reference pitch attitude remembered at 50 feet.
