Guys, we're still arguing in circles around the crux of the matter. Why did Land 2 necessitate a G/A? The G/A procedure was messed up, but why was it performed in the first place? Perhaps someone inside AF can enlighten us as to their SOP's. If the G/A was not necessary then that decision is the root cause of the subsequent problems. Why, how it was messed up; autopilot disconnect forces, the position of switches, etc.etc. are all consequent of the initial action and worthy of discussion under another topic.
In direct discussion of this incident I'm curious if the G/A decision was appropriate yes/no.
