Summary

As the Boeing 737 was making an approach to Runway 05R at Manchester Airport a thunderstorm was approaching the airport. At decision height, visual reference with the runway was lost and the flight crew initiated a manually flown, manual thrust go-around. During the initial actions of the go-around the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of headwind which caused a loss of airspeed. 皇冠体育app commander reacted to the loss of airspeed by reducing the pitch attitude which resulted in a slight descent, which triggered an EGPWS caution. 皇冠体育app commander reacted appropriately to the caution and the aircraft climbed away without further incident.
