Bloggs,
What's a "startle touch and go"? Touch and goes are planned maneuvers, I thought. The crew was apparently doing a go around. Should the T7 or any plane have a A/T touch and go mode. They were trained in go arounds, presumably, and both pilots messed it up, full stop. Are we now saying pilots are startled by a go around?
BTW, the EK SOP on "long landing" is a system error. They employ pilots to make landings which require judgement inherent in being a pilot.
