According to the ASN Accident Description, "Go-around power was added at 14.45:35" The pilot was past the end of the runway by then and into an unmapped part of the A-320's flight control system. What is "an unmapped part of the A-320's flight control system" supposed to mean?!? Airbus hadn't programmed their A-320 to do what the operator commanded. Just prior to the pilot adding go-around power, the airplane was in an aerodynamic regime that had been encountered many times previously -- airspeed between stall and Vref, with a slight rate of descent (approx 375 fpm, from last datapoint), engines at idle. How could it be that the flight control system was "unmapped" in that aerodynamic regime?!? That is a good question. I am quite certain that the A-320's certification included slow flight and approaches to stalls, and that its flight control system is well able to handle them. Then you have departed from reality. |
