Well, perhaps it wasn't "saveable". Of course reverting to manual thrust at 50' is not option and I think that perhaps a Go-around was the only possibilty to avoid a firm landing. But then again: who cares about firm landings? It's not because it's firm that it's not a good landing! (Despite what most pax will be thinking
)
So my advice would be not to use A/T for landing unless it's necessary (or unless your company says you HAVE to use A/T all the time.
) To me "necessary" means that I use A/T for autolands only or every once in a while for training. (After all I still want to be able to use all the automatic gizmo's
) I personally NEVER use A/T for landings in gusty or stormy conditions.
Have fun and safe flights,
