Hi Ann,

I have completed the survey. Interesting.

Feedback: I found the last scenario to be of very limited value, because of information not provided that would have been availble to the crew at 500 feet:

1. Airspeed. You stated that airspeed was "high" but did not say how high. That is critical to a go-around decision.

2. Glideslope/glidepath. You stated that the runway looked "normal" to the Captain but did not provide information of what the ILS glideslope was indicating, nor vwhat the vsual approach path indicator (eg PAPI, if there was one) was indicating. Both of these elements would also be of critical importance to a go-around decision.

I note that you stated in your pre-amble that certain information would intentially be withheld for the purposes of the survey, but personality, or that of of one's colleague can hardly be overwhelmingly relevant with the omission of these critical elements in a go-around decision.

Best of luck with your research, Fred.
