So the Capts a TRI on type......... ok
That's even more worrying. He wanted a "smooth" go-around - ok, once it's going up just come back to the CLB detent if you don't want/need TOGA - the important thing is to make sure it's going UP! This aircraft got within half wingspan of touching down....
I'm an advocate of maintaining handling skills - but there's a time and a place and marginal LVP's is not the time. There are serious questions about decision making and situational awareness here.
I know we can all make mistakes but how can a TRI make such a fundamental error?
