Jesus Christ! There is a lot of "technical" discussion and advice going on in this thread.My personal concern is that there is a lot of BS being dished out as "good advice" and some of our less experienced fellow pilots might actually believe/follow it.
Im not going to promote my own "superior" knowledge, HOWEVER I have been privileged to be an instructor on big jets for a long time and I spend a lot of time when in the SIM using my discretion to let the guys practice the things that we hardly do on the line and the various GO-AROUND types, especially the all-engine one is a favourite.Errors are common, but can be trained out.I have to say that the particular event that the EK crew faced would most likely have a high degree of "startle" factor and would cause at least initially some confusion as it is a very rare event.Im now getting trainees to practice it in the SIM and the results are very surprising indeed.Peter.
