At 10:40:51.2 (end) the First officer says "go around"
this is right between the end of the callouts 90 meters and 80 meters by the navigator. 10:40:51.3 is when navigator 80 meter callout ends.
What exactly were the captain's actions after he heard the "go around" will be a mystery until the FDR is released, precisely matched in time to the CVR.
I'm starting to lean towards the theory of false visual aquisition by the captain - he probably ignored the go around callout because he thought he saw the runway, and cruicial seconds were lost until he saw trees, at that point it was too late. The CVR has no sound recorded from the captain during that time, so we have no clue what he did until the FDR.
