Modes of Operation
GO--AROUND (GA) MODE (WINGS LEVEL)
The GA mode is normally used to transition from a landing approach to
a climb out condition in the event of a missed approach. The pilot
selects GA mode by pushing the GA button located on either outboard
throttle handle. With GA mode selected, all flight director modes are
cancelled. Laterally, the pilot sees a heading hold command on the
PFD, as shown in figure 8--26.
If the autopilot was engaged before go--around was selected, the
autopilot remains engaged. The command bars show a wings level and
pitch command to hold a minimum speed of 1.3 V
s.
CAUTION
DURING A COUPLED (AUTOPILOT ENGAGED) GO--AROUND UN-
DER HEAVY AND FORWARD CG CONDITIONS, AN ALTITUDE
LOSS OF APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET CAN OCCUR.
NOTES:
1. For an invalid AOA, minimum speed defaults to 120
kts.
2. The go--around mode ensures that minimal altitude is
lost during the maneuver.
3. The maximum pitch angle is 12
°
.
4. Under low power conditions, the mode first maintains
altitude (see CAUTION above) until 1.3 V
s
is reached.
5. MIN SPD protection mode is active during go--around.
6. If a windshear condition is encountered and
go--around is activated, the command bars are driven
by windshear recovery commands. The vertical flight
director mode is WS.
The GA mode is cancelled by selecting another pitch mode or changing
the couple to cross--side.
