"do you say this (auto G/A) does not work if there is no ILS?"

Alex, if you can read Russian, I was asking Alexander Leonov (the pilot on duty :o) at page 1228 of Smolensk forum.
He replied quote "The Right one commanded (the go-around to the 2nd circle), and his next step should have been the go-around itself, but he didn't do it likely waited for the Captain's decision. I think the go-around was possible even without ILS but apparently not so energetic as in the wheel regime.
They ought to have switched off the Automate of Pull? Tug? and pilot in the wheel regime and at 100m by barometric height-meter really go around for the 2nd circle."
