The crew of Air France flight AF 2545 performed an ILS CAT 1 approach to runway 27R at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The decision height was 200 feet. The captain, at the minima, performed a go-around due to the weather conditions that deteriorated during the approach.
During this manoeuvre, he engaged the autopilot. The descent continued and a GPWS alarm sounded. The lowest recorded height was 76 feet.
COnclusions:
This serious go-around altitude loss incident is due to:
- the engagement of the AP in an unsuitable mode;
- the failure to activate the go-around modes, as a result of the thrust levers being positioned in an unsuitable notch;
- a lack of attitude monitoring.
The following factors may have contributed to the incident:
- inaccuracies in the drafting of the procedure available to the crew;
- a deviation in the application of the procedure related to taking operational constraints into account.
