Narrative:
GPWS and MSAW alarms were triggered during an unstabilised night -time approach to Lyon. Both pilots attempted to control the aircraft as a missed approach was carried out, approach.

Causes
The serious incident was due to:
- initially, continuing the descent during the ILS approach to runway 36L while the airplane was not configured or stabilised on the localiser axis, resulting in dangerous ground proximity;
- after the first GPWS warning, the inadequate application of the GPWS emergency procedure, in particular in terms of setting the attitude.
The following factors contributed to the serious incident:
- inadequate application of normal procedures, task-sharing and emergency procedures, resulting in highly degraded crew situational awareness (position in space, configuration);
- the limited experience on type of both crew members;
- the operator’s desire to quickly train a pilot with low experience on type as a Captain;
- variable criteria to serve as a Captain;
- the use of inappropriate MSAW phraseology by the controller.
