From The Aviation Herald.
Same runway they went off during the thunderstorm several years ago ( 9000 feet long ).
Winds were not an issue.
Accident: France A359 at Toronto on Jan 21st 2024, tail strike on landing/go around
Don’t push forward, or pull back, after a bounce.
Go around if its a high bounce ( hold the attitude initially ).
Might be a good idea to discuss how to deal with bounce recoveries prior to descent ( even though it’s in the manual or pilots saw it in sim training ).
It’s really important that the PM ( pilot not flying ) call out when getting close to max landing pitch ( 7.5 / 10 degrees A320, 321 ). Once you reach that pitch , stop pulling back, or do a go around.
