I'm not familiar with the A300. Do the spoilers extend automatically on touchdown or not?
The way the article is written really confuses me. I don't see how the tower would instruct a crew to perform a go-around after the aircraft has already touched down. Nor do I understand why a crew would think it a good idea to simply perform a touch and go after what must have been quite the hard landing.
It's the wording of the article that has me confused.
