  • At 200 feet he noticed the four PAPIs were red, the airspeed was in the hatched(sp?) area on the Speed Tape. He recognized that the auto-throtles were not maintaining speed and he established a GO-AROUND Attitude.
  • He went to push the throttles forward but stated the other pilot had already pushed the throttles forward.
According to the crew G/A starts at about 200 feet and at this point the throttles are forwards. Given that they are low (four reds) this means they are at around 0.7nm or 0.8nm. Even with the displaced threshold there should still have been about 20 seconds between opening the throttles and hitting the sea wall?
