Hi all, just wondering what is the best method on the A330 to recapture your glidepath if you get the aural warning "Glideslope, Glideslope"

Thanks for your help!

...a go-around followed by a second approach?

Or if pure inattentiveness got you a tad low, you are at 2000 ft and it's clear skies. Add some thrust and get back up there?

The "glideslope -glideslope" warning is a 'hard' warning and the upper limit for this warning is 300' AGL. The 'soft' single warning starts at 1,000'. Therefore, a go-around might always be a sensible option.

I stand corrected.. have no knowledge of A330.
On the Boeing it's just a soft warning requiring correction.
