MD-82 almost stalled at low level after go-around thrust overlooked
Bulgarian investigators have revealed that a Boeing MD-82 almost stalled while nose-high at low level, after the crew did not engage go-around thrust during a missed approach at Tarbes-Lourdes airport.

Wow, AoA 39 degrees at 116 kn and it didn't stall ! I guess at 70 feet agl it must have been in ground effect ?
Starts around .5 X wing span. 107' for an MD83
Thanks Bentwing60. So at 70 feet agl he would have been slightly above it (53 foot 6).
Maybe the simulation can include a randomly selected 'omitted landing procedure step' to keep the crew on their toes?
