So, can I ask the experts on policy, policy implementation, the Flight Manual etc:
Where does the fact where the person in 0A, directs the F/o to go-around, then takes over from him, then elects to discontinue the go-around, the aircraft makes contact with the runway, that disarms the auto spoiler and the autobrake, then touches down on a runway with standing water which is unreported, tries to stop without auto brakes and no speedbrakes up, neglects to select ANY reverse ( let alone idle), no one realises the spoilers haven't deployed so they are faired until the end of the landing roll, and one engine is in forward thrust which is undetected or unreported by any of the pilots.
Who in the hell discontinues a go around anyway? I haven't ever seen any landing data that gives a runway distance required for a discontinued go around, let alone on a contaminated runway.
The only cheese that suits what happened is not Swiss, it's a smelly blue cheese, one that is the product of something well out of the ordinary.
A few minutes earlier the 0A seated person on another aircraft on the other parellel runway carried out a go around which was not discontinued. They landed after a second approach and were in the hotel whilst the other one was checking out the golf course.
