Nobody in this threat has considered a couple of crucial factors on WHY this Captain decided to GO AROUND AFTER TOUCHDOWN.(after 6 seconds wheels on the ground)
1.- EK PUNITIVE CULTURE:
- This Captain felt a burning and penetrating heat in his ass after the "LANDING LONG" RAAS came out.
"WARNING LETTER AHEAD!!! ****!!! GO AROUND!!!"
- This Captain Touched down 1,100 meters from the runway 12L threshold.
- Distance left to Stop the aircraft to taxi speed: 2500 meters.
- Enough Runway left to stop the aircraft safely and vacate via M12 or M13.
Anybody disagrees?
2.- POOR LINE TRAINING:
- In order to feel comfortable to Brake and Stop a B777 under this particular situation, Crews must trained accordingly by their employer.
This basic piloting skills, will allow Crews to feel confident to Land on auto brakes, take over the brakes manually, slow down gradually, to reach taxi speed before reaching your planned exit taxiway.
- EK Training Department expects and encourage Crews to use AUTOBRAKES until reaching 40 or 60 knots (i do not remember exactly now), even if you have 1000 meters runway ahead before your planned exit taxiway. I had this discussion with a TRI after a Line Check.
His highly qualified and professional answer was: "this is what we expect"...
3.- It is not a secret that CREWS in EK have practically no room to make decisions based on their own Judgement and experience, and have been turned, unfortunately, into mere machine operators, and modern slaves operators.
EK management has perfectly aligned the Holes of the infamous swiss cheese Model.
The next "Operational Incident" it is just a matter of time...
