BOAC:
For murph's benefit - 95%+ of go-rounds in the simulator and for real will be flown in 'instrument' conditions. In any case, the pitch angle of a g/a in a modern jet g/a is such that judging pitch attitude 'on a horizon' is difficult and imprecise. Therefore it is the norm to transfer to instruments for a g/a.
Thanks, The 95% makes sense since in good conditions go-arounds are much less likely.
If the earlier speculation in this thread is correct then this was one of
the 5% of go arounds not in instrument conditions. at least untill just before the decision to go around.
This could mean the PF had little if any expereice (real or sim) transitioning to intrumetns during a go-around.
First hole in swiss cheese?
