Don't know where to start...

The position of the sensors has very little to do with this accident. Much more to do with crew training and crew resource management. We don't have all the details, that may take over a year. But, on a rejected landing after touch down, the spoilers having had ground contact want to extend. This is prevented by advancing the thrust levers. Whether the TOGO switch was selected or not the pilot flying must back the system up and advance the thrust levers manually. The non flying pilot must confirm the trust levers are advancing and that we have two indications of climb, both VVI and altimeter. Then the non-flying pilot calls positive rate and the flying pilot call gear up. At maximum landing weight, with both thrust levers advance even close to go-around thrust, the aircraft climbs very quickly.


Sorry, but you are just barking up the wrong tree.
