Well Lodestar perhaps the aircraft should be operated in conditions such a these with the automaics engaged i.e. no hand flown raw data nonsense then it's simply 'go-around, flap---, gear up, autopilot re engage if the go around was late and the autopilot had been disengaged tfo landing. Hand flying is for nice clear conditions in good weather and only then in a quiet environment. The time cannot be far off when the autopilot will be engaged with the before take off checks and disengaged at the end of the landing roll, 'pilots' will have to know how to operate the system and their should be far fewer cfit's.
