Back to the CVR being very important. Not only will it show a 'state of mind' before the event, it will give insight into why and perhaps how the GA was made. The FDR only shows the technical parameters. Many people are focusing on the human factors here.
Human Factors.
This begins with an understanding of the reason(s) for the go- around. The point touched earlier in the thread was the apparent " early " or "premature" decision to abandon the landing attempt. I would suggest the only reasonable conclusion that may be ascribed to this decision is for safety reasons. For reasons yet unknown, but which hopefully will emerge in due course, the crew decided it was unsafe to continue with the decision. Perhaps the CVR transcript will reveal whether this was in the landing brief. If not, then the possibility arises that the actions lay in the single mind of the PF and must therefore been unilateral, with its attendant risks of uncoordinated responses of the crew at a time when swift coordinated action was required most.
