it's only difficult if one hasn't thought about it. 757 Go-around from above = go around switch followed immediately by v/s. it's very straight forward. In fact a go around in the 75 is very straight forward. This crew just cocked it up. I'm sorry but thats pretty much sums it up for me.
We have had pages of excuses ranging from poor ATC to poor bird management to poor training but non of them cut it.
Birds happen, go arounds happen and TCX's training I'm sure is very good. If the crew were unhappy flying manually then they should have practiced more. Hand flying is encouraged at most UK airlines when the conditions permit exactly for the reasons that the report highlights.
Let this be a lesson to all.. keep up those skills and do well what we are payed to do well in...
