I mean just to give an anecdote that is slightly worrying; I was about to land in Grenoble and it was quite rocky the turbulence and incredibly windy, you could tell we were coming in too fast and the pilot decided to back out of the landing and take off again with the wheels nearly on the runway.

Suffice to say the angle of attack was extreme and the power produced by the engines quite impressive/terrifying. I would say anything that decided to change the express wishes of the pilot in that situation would have been hugely dangerous.

Can someone explain why ever overriding the pilot rather than warning them would be a good thing?
