When asked if he had considered a go around at any point during the event, he said that he had but when he did the “moment had slipped past” and it was too late.
Wow. Just wow.
5,000 feet down the runway was too late for a go around?
Didn't remember the EMAS was there?
Actually, the whole last paragraph needs pasting here.
When asked if he had considered a go around at any point during the event, he said that he had but when he did the “moment had slipped past” and it was too late. He stated that the moment he rounded out they should have gone around. He said he is now going to now require at least 8,000 feet of runway length for first officers to land. He said that that if the landing would have been
firmer they would have stopped on the runway. He said he will reiterate with first officers in the future that they must land in the touchdown zone. He said again that he did consider a go around before touchdown but there was little time to verbalize it, and he said to “put it down” instead of Go around.
and
When asked if he had been terminated before, he said that he had been terminated from Arrow Air.
That would be a fun bit to learn about.
