slast - I presume the go around performance was at airfield level and didn't take into account the altitude - which would have given a lower climb performance.


You probably remember the T3 that diverted to Madrid after an engine failure on take off (Malaga?) without checking the go around perf.

As often happened atc gave clearance for an Iberia DC9? to line up (always the worst controllers I came across) with full thrust she kept descending and the skipper ended up lowering the nose, cleaning up and followed the lower terrain.

Min drag was around 230kts I believe.
