I wonder if they set the minima and then selected LVL CHG in a similar manner to the 16 NDB incident a couple of years ago? Maybe this airline doesn't give enough attention to NPA in their training.

As for the stupid comment regarding the 38' with the wheels up have another look at the report on the incident. The wheels were down. Noticed that there hasn't been more incidents involving go-arounds? Thats because the pilots were all given further training on the manouvre. The issue with Tiger appears to be the whole training setup, thats why CASA have taken a different approach to Tiger.
