Narrative:
The DC-9 was on an ILS approach to runway 01 when sight of the runway was lost. A go-around was initiated but the aircraft touched down hard before climbing away. The flight continued to Palma.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The captain ordered the co-pilot to go around in a non-standard way, which was not understood by the co-pilot.
