Autopilot Go-Around

Go–Around (GA) mode is engaged by pushing either TO/GA switch. An A/P go–around
requires dual A/P operation and is armed when FLARE armed is annunciated. If both A/Ps
are not operating, a manual F/D go–around is available.

With the A/T Arm switch at ARM, the A/T go–around mode is armed:

  • When descending below 2000 feet RA.
  • When above 2000 feet RA with flaps not up or G/S captured.
  • With or without the AFDS engaged.
