Takeoff and Go-Around Function (TO/GA)

Flight Director Go-Around  (Contd.)

With the first push of either TO/GA switch:

  • A/T (if armed) engages in GA and advances thrust toward the reduced go–around
    N1 to produce 1000 to 2000 fpm rate of climb. The A/T Engaged Mode annunciation
    on the FMA indicates GA.

  • Autopilot (if engaged) disengages.

  • Pitch mode engages in TO/GA and the Pitch Engaged Mode annunciation on the
    FMA indicates TO/GA.

  • F/D pitch commands 15 degrees nose up until reaching programmed rate of climb.
    F/D pitch then commands target airspeed for each flap setting based on maximum
    takeoff weight calculations.

  • F/D roll commands approach ground track at time of engagement. The Roll Engaged
    Mode annunciation on the FMA is blank.

  • The IAS/Mach display blanks.

  • The command airspeed cursor automatically moves to a target airspeed for the
    existing flap position based on maximum takeoff weight calculations.
