Go-around practice

Press TOGA

Briefed / stable final ^[38]

Select TOGA

Brief the missed approach and use a suitable airborne practice scenario. Do not practise after thrust-reverser deployment.

Press TOGA, maintain control and check thrust and FMA indications.

FSS activation limits

Thrust / pitch / GA /

Vertical GA and lateral

FSS describes GA vertically and TRACK laterally. Its page also lists a 2,500 ft radio-altitude limit (or 17,000 ft barometric altitude if radio altitude is invalid) without explaining how this fits its summary that airborne TOGA engages GA.

Check the aircraft response, attitude, speed, configuration and lateral path.

FMA and lateral mode

Next mode / charted route

Check the installed FMA rather than assuming the mode has engaged. TRACK does not guarantee the published missed-approach path; select the next lateral mode deliberately. Cancelling vertical GA does not cancel TRACK. ^[10]

FSS also describes GA activation for a bounced landing or touch-and-go when TOGA is pressed with weight on wheels for less than five seconds after the aircraft has been airborne. Follow the current FSS limitations: do not go around after reverse thrust has been deployed. FSS vertical modes ^[38].
