I don't agree with the suggestion Moving thrust lever out of CLB detent a bit in this case. first it is too much of addition of thrust. And moving the levers through the detents, while adding thrust or reducing thrust, has its own precious time element. Detent resists the movement. As I told you all in the very beginning, reaction time was very little, due to sudden sink. So I think it would not have saved this landing.
You're suggesting that you dont think adding power on short finals as required to avoid a heay landing (and if that wasn't going to work a G/A) is a good idea. Forgive me if Im putting words into your mouth or twisting the words that came out.
I dont care whether its a 152/787/320 its up to you to putting the aircraft where you want it at all times using all the assets you have, if you disregard the thrust this is going to happen again. Use whatever power is required to arrest the ROD and fly level if required if you have any doubt that you wont make it in go around. In the landing config there should be enough thrust available to arrest the rate of descent thats a certification issue.
I'm not suggesting you practice on revenue flights but Level D sims do a crap job of accurately recreating close to the ground events, maybe ask your skipper if you can do a non A/T approach next time the weathers good
