Overcoming Go-Around Hesitation
A 727 was approaching Ketchikan, Alaska, high and fast. Despite several warnings from the copilot, the captain elected to continue the visual approach. The airplane landed long and fast on the slush-covered runway, and the captain quickly deployed the spoilers and thrust reversers and applied maximum braking.

we should go around.....Captain Go around.....I was flying planes when you were still in diapers.....oh crap I should have gone around #crash boom pow
It is always easier to go around than to have a carrier change to pushing up daisies....
There's nothing wrong with admitting to yourself it's not quite right, then trying again.
So much for CRM with the copilot warning. Bulletproof captain. Serious enough that company policy even had it down as a no no. It's like anything else, there is a committment point and in this case, he not only screwed up but killed sombody in the process. Big time screwup.IMHO
Wayne....I don't mean to be the lowly G.I. in Saving Private Ryan asking what "FUBAR" means..............but what exactly is IMHO......
In My Humble Opinion.....got it
Boy you so bright we gonna have to put a tub over you so the sun will come up tomorrow.LOL

Hey, preacher1, don't be too sarcastic...I didn't know what it meant either! LOL
LOL, that term is older than Preacher1 (and that is saying something :), Thought everyone knew that one.. Of course... Many miss the term "CFIT"... That is a naughty one in the Airline Industry.
Now Sparkie, you got me on that one. If it's too bad, send me an Email.LOL
As long as you have been flying, one simple aviation term... So that you will not think that I am pulling your leg, check it out at the link below, but don't try this with that nice new CRJ of yours :)

Cool, now I know what CFIT means too :) I mean...I've heard about controlled flight into terrain, but I never knew the abbreviation for it. LOL
I'm kinda like Ben down here but had never hear that abb.lol
It's not one you want to use often
Probably used in the CHIT configuration at times
