Is this SOP or is it another situation similar to the Cork accident.
Don't know about the Cork accident but this one could very well be similar to Air Canada's Canadair CL-600 accident in 1997 to which user PJ2 (#42) provided a link above. Similarity of aircraft type makes it an even better comparison. Yes, setting the go-around power is the correct procedure but as it happened in the Air Canada case the aircraft must be in the correct energy state and with engines at N1 setting which guarantees quick spool-up or otherwise go-around may not work very well. These are so called Low-Energy go-arounds that could be deadly.
