1. A GA shall be made if landing not within TDZ ( I assume after)
2. A380. "Long Landing" = GA. What about B777.
Next question: should these be advisory or mandatory? Sometimes I think the judgment of captains has been diluted or removed too much. Yes, there will be those who are press-on jockeys. Yes there have been those who ignored F/O's call to toss it away. Yes, there will be those who ignore computerised SOP calls & actions. But I wonder if this accident could have been avoided using captain's discretion. I know about the mis-airmanship afterwards, but I'm still asking about the computer v captain(Pilot) decision making process.
True; if they'd executed the GA correctly all would be OK, but they didn't. If they'd stayed on the ground they should have stopped short & everything would be OK. Which would they more likely have succeeded at? It's a moot point and the start of a circular debate with, perhaps, no black & white answer. However, IF the SOP says the computer is boss and you WILL GA, that is black & white, but should, it be the SOP?
