During the approach to Eindhoven Airport, the Netherlands, a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 was radar vectored towards runway 21 for a landing with the aid of the Instrument Landing System (ILS). The aircraft was flying under Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). During the latter stage of the approach, the aircraft was above the intended 3 degree Glide Path. After the Localizer was captured, a Glide Slope intercept from above was executed. The Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS) and the Auto Throttles (AT) were engaged. The Approach mode was armed and the aircraft was configured for landing.
At short final, approximately 0.85 NM from the thresho ld at 1060 feet altitude, the Glide Slope was captured. Upon Glide Slope capture, a pitch increase of 24.5 degrees aircraft nose up (ANU) occurred in about 8 seconds. The crew pressed the 'take off/go around' (TOGA) button for a go around, almost simultaneously followed by the activation of the stick shaker warning. During the following approach to stall recovery manoeuvre there was a second stick shaker activation. The crew made a successful go around and landed at Eindhoven Airport.
