Final Report A320 (G-EZGY), Corfu Greece, 19 June 2024
On 19 June 2024, an Airbus A320 First Officer made a deeper than expected night touchdown at Corfu and without recognising that reverse thrust had been engaged, the Captain took control and applied full thrust to initiate a go-around which is expressly prohibited. On recognising his error, hesitation and uncertainty led to him cycling the thrust levers between full thrust and maximum reverse multiple times before eventually deciding a stop on the runway should be made. This was achieved with 340 metres of runway remaining after both pilots had simultaneously called stop and both then simultaneously applied maximum braking.
