La manière de le dire n'est pas importante!

"Go-around" when it is used and understood, in whatever your native tongue, means precisely that.

None of us needs to re-visit CRM issues on communication, n'est pas? Therefore, the blood lessons of the past have resulted in SOPs.
Rest assured that the good folks flying RJs for Brit Air have credible and professional SOPs that were in fact, in use Sunday evening on the approach into Brest.
A plausible/possible scenario would seem to be unfolding as regards the Captaine/Captain/Kaptan/Pilot/ No. 1/ Commandante, etc. etc. etc. (insert whatever label you wish to use) who may have experienced something of an incapacitating nature, resulting in his inability to control the aeroplane and subsequently evacuate himself from a burning wreck.
So much for the F/O who's responsibility it is in the RJ during an evacuation to climb out of his seat and 'assist' with the evacuation. Are we to now assume he didn't try to help his Captain???

We simply do not know what took place from 1000' and 3nm to impact without corroborative data.

Do we now question the assertiveness of the F/O?
His experience?
His 'panic' factor as he realized things were going desperately wrong?


Folks, relax, we simply don't know yet WHAT HAPPENED!
