GLOW FISH
You are 100% right! Unlike the statement by the ozzie ex-EK Captain above, I have never in 19000 hours of flying a heavy jet either bounced a landing or observed others do it.Hard/heavy landings yes, but not a bounce so I cant really say how to respond, however many times ive been required to carry out a very low level go-around in either a low energy state or in nasty weather and I can strongly recommend that the best way, after asking for the go-around flap setting leave the gear alone, then HAND FLY THE MACHINE FCUK the MODES.POWER PLUS ATTITUDE EQUALS PERFORMANCE.15 DEGREES PITCH PLUS MAXIMUM POWER......IN YOUR HANDS INITIALY WILL GET YOU OUT OF TROUBLE.STAB TRIM AND GEAR UP A LITTLE LATER....Peter.
