Mikehotel152,

A go-around is never 'planned'.
Really. So you never brief the go around procedure or SOPs before commencing a go around?

There was no reason to perform a go-around before they did so and the procedure appears to have been followed 'correctly'.
Really?

How about:
1. The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) data2 indicates that the aircraft experienced an extended landing flare.

2. The PF subsequently stated that difficulty was experienced in getting the aircraft to settle on the runway during this time.

3. The PF became increasingly concerned about the remaining length of runway available.


Yes? No? You consider it 'correct' to shunt the nosewheel into the tarmac at 1.7g and bounce off said nosewheel before you would consider a go around?

Who do you fly for?

Accelalt,

It is standard procedure to immediately ground flight crew involved in an accident if that accident is serious enough to inform the Chief Inspector of Accidents.

I would humbly suggest that this accident would satisfy that criteria.
