How you can be so demeaning of examiners who have spent all their lives in the industry just because they happen to be FAA Looses me! One spent 10 years with the FAA accident investigation.
It wasn't me - it was the Boeing chap who told the meeting that the problem had arisen due to FAA examiners mis-applying the 'minimum loss of height' requirement as 'no loss of height' - hence the potentially dangerous 'TOGA and don't descend' nonsense which has spread across the industry. I also suspect that 'windshear go-around' techniques have been confused with stall recovery techniques by some.
This revised technique has now, I understand, been issued as a B737 requirement and also on Airbus aircraft. Certainly ba now use it on their B737 fleet.
