Part 6/9:
Despite the Captain’s calls to correct the course and assurance that the flight was stable, the First Officer's escalating attempts to regain control led to an unexpected call for a go-around—initiated as the aircraft was only about 2 nautical miles from landing. In this split-second decision, the aircraft's situation dramatically deteriorated.
While initiating the go-around, both pilots began inadvertently competing for control, each providing opposite inputs at crucial moments—the Captain pushing forward while the First Officer pulled back while simultaneously increasing the bank angle. Disturbingly, both believed they were responding correctly to a malfunction, thus escalating the perceived severity of their situation.
