While the airplane was on final on runway 25 at Orly, an alarm from the ground movement monitoring and automatic runway incursion detection system (RIMCAS) was triggered due to the presence of a bird control near runway easements. The bird control vehicle was however behind the holding point and outside the runway easements. The erroneous triggering of the RIMCAS alarm was due to the failure to take into account, in the system settings, the shifting of the holding point following works.
Due to the RIMCAS warning and in the absence of a response from the driver of the vehicle, the controller ordered the crew to go around when they had passed the decision altitude (DA).
The crew overshot, initially displaying thrust and attitude that generated high vertical speed. He then engaged the autothrottle (A/T) while the autopilot (A/P) was disengaged. The left turn was started late and the high bank angle triggered the “Bank Angle” alarm. The missed approach altitude was exceeded during the turn. Under the combined effect of a nose-down input from the PF and the reduction in thrust by the A/T, the airplane then descended below 2,000 ft. The controller then cleared the crew to climb to 3,000 ft. The selection of this altitude by the crew caused a reversion to V/S mode with the instantaneous vertical speed as target (-1,100 ft/min).
The crew then followed the instructions of the flight director (F/D) for about twenty seconds. During the descent, the controller called out to the crew three times and the DON'T SINK alert went off and remained active for 45 s.
The crew stopped the descent at around 1,300 ft and leveled the airplane for 30 s, accelerating up to 292 kt. He then resumed the climb to 3,000 ft. After stabilizing the airplane at 3,000 ft, the crew carried out a second approach without incident.
