Somatogravic illusion could be avoided or at least minimized by performing a soft go around. Many skippers believe they need to keep MAX power until thrust reduction which leads to having way too much energy with all engines running. On Airbus a small tap to TOGA then back to climb detent when appropriate (or Flex/MCT detent if equipped with the Soft Go Around) will make the go around much safer. Less chance of illusion, overspeed and altitude burst.
The recommendation to perform soft go around can be found in the Airbus Safety First magazine #23.
