Boeing don't introduce mods like that as it would hint at liability.

The automation management issue in my view started earlier in the approach with the decision to fly the aircraft manually.

I agree with framer that once pointing skywards, it was a handling...

Slight slip in terminology - sorry. Full 26k takeoff thrust is less than the full forward stop, but full 27k Max rated thrust is at the forward stop ref FCOM 2 7.20.4; what isn't obvious to me either...

The indicated N1s suggest thrust was advanced to the full forward stops.

Having done a previous Windshear go-around, and I suspect with the Windshear escape manoeuvre in his mind the captain (or...

I agree with framer, which is why the big question for me is what level of automation (if any) was used on the go around and whether it was a Windshear escape manoeuvre.

There is a pretty big...

There is no "trim in motion" sound on the 737, merely the generally noticeable sound of the trim wheel spinning. The "sound that explains everything" is the 5 seconds of the trim wheel running. When...

The MAK intitially report referenced made clear the approach was being manually flown. What is not so clear is:
