821 - whilst there were extenuating circumstances (drunk CP and asymmetric thrust levers) is was essentially a loss of spatial disorientation following a discontinued approach (an EXTREMELY messy one at that) followed by a high nose attitude (soon after applying 'almost' take off power) which went unchanged, followed by a steep turn of up to 76 degrees before performing almost a complete 'barrel roll' then impacting the ground at very high speed with the wreckage highly fragmented spread over a small area.

That's how I can say there is a possible relation. In this instance I'd bet my house on there being no alcohol in the FZ crew's system.

ManaAdaSystems - the aircraft was likely very light, it would have climbed quickly.

Anyone know if it's FZ policy to 'double click' during a G/A balked landing?

Syntax Error I totally agree. However UAE does have some high standards. In fact the world does, apart from South East Asia. I'd have no problem boarding an FZ flight, any European, North American LCC and in Australia I'd even board a Tiger Airways flight. These days on a whole LCCs are extremely safe.
