TO/GA mode termination from A/P go–around:
• below 400 feet RA, the AFDS remains in the go–around mode unless
both A/Ps and F/Ds are disengaged
1B785, 1J585 - 1J594
• if the A/P is compensating for asymmetric thrust during the go-around,
autopilot rudder control is disabled when a new pitch or roll mode is
selected
• above 400 feet RA, select a different pitch or roll mode.
•if the roll mode is changed first:
•the selected mode engages in single A/P roll operation and is
controlled by the A/P which was first in CMD
•pitch remains in dual A/P control in TO/GA mode.
•if the pitch mode is changed first:
•the selected mode engages in single A/P pitch operation and is
controlled by the A/P which was first in CMD
•the second A/P disengages
•the roll mode engages in CWS R.
•the A/T GA mode is terminated when:
•another pitch mode is selected
•ALT ACQ annunciates engaged.
Note:
The pitch mode cannot be changed from TO/GA until sufficient
nose–down trim has been input to allow single channel A/P
operation. This nose–down trim is automatically added by the
A/P to reset the trim input made by the A/P at 400 feet RA and
at 50 feet RA during the approach.
With pitch mode engaged in TO/GA, ALT ACQ engages when approaching the
selected altitude and ALT HOLD engages at the selected altitude if the stabilizer
position is satisfactory for single A/P operation.
• if stabilizer trim position is not satisfactory for single A/P operation:
•ALT ACQ is inhibited
•A/P disengage lights illuminate steady red
•pitch remains in TO/GA.
Note:
To extinguish A/P disengage lights, disengage A/Ps or select higher
altitude on MCP.

following conditions:
• inflight below 2000 feet RA
