Not a pilot...
So from what I understand....
1. A 16 knot tailwind caused a Long Landing. The RAAS called "Long Landing Long Landing" hence SOP says a go around is mandatory? Even if there is enough runway left to safely land the bird?
2. The RAAS called out just on or just after the initial touchdown leading to the TO/GA switch being clicked post initial touchdown? Both PF/PM forgot that the TO/GA is disabled after touchdown?
3. PF/PM did not have hand on the thrust levers to monitor engine spool and increase thrust manually? More concerned about pitch and flaps? Is that SOP too?
4. Did the PM call out Positive Climb too soon? Without confirming thrust increase? Leading to the gear being retracted too soon?
5. It took them 12 seconds to realize that they were climbing without thrust? Is that a normal reaction time after clicking the TO/GA?
6. Is the disabling of the autopilot system on touchdown stressed in the recertification process? The PF had his recert in May.
Is this all a sequence of a series of oversights and errors?
We're all human. Mistakes do happen. But were these aggravated by existing SOP?
Must commend the cabin crew for the orderly and quick evacuation using the very few available and usable exits.
