Go-around guidance and limits

After TOGA in flight, distinguish the two GA indications: EICAS GA ATTS is the engine thrust rating; GA on the PFD FMA is the vertical go-around mode ^{[75, 38]}.

FMA after TOGA

FSS describes TRACK laterally and GA vertically after an airborne TOGA selection. TRACK holds inertial ground track; it does not follow the charted missed-approach route ^[38].

Pitch and configuration

FSS describes an initial takeoff-pitch command, changing to speed-on-elevator guidance as speed approaches the go-around target. The listed go-around flap selections are FLAPS 4 from FULL and FLAPS 2 from 5 ^{[38, 10]}.

After a positive climb, select gear UP. Select the cleared lateral mode and altitude for the published missed approach; vertical GA does not cancel TRACK ^[38].

Activation limits

FSS’s vertical-modes page conflicts with itself: its summary says airborne TOGA engages GA, while its activation list adds a 2,500 ft radio-altitude limit (or 17,000 ft barometric altitude if radio altitude is invalid). FSS also prohibits go-around after thrust-reverser deployment ^{[38, 10]}.

For a bounced landing or touch-and-go, FSS describes selecting TOGA on the wheels within five seconds of having been airborne ^[38].
