They put an INTAM ( yes it was called that because that's what they called it in AN)( TJ of QF and AN infamy may have had something to do with that) saying this is the recommended GA procedure. It was called the TOGA Tap. Push the levers to TOGA then straight back to MCT. Boeing does this beautifully by limiting the VS to 2000fpm with the first push og TOGA. These guys writing this **** had all recently been FO's on Boeings in a large Chinese speaking Airline that had a history of parking aeroplanes where they should not normally be. Airbus is full noise for GA- caught out more than a few crews and fatal to one in Nagoya. So our hero ex AN scabs go to do the the TOGA tap but did not hit the TOGA stop engaging SRS. So what happens. The FDs still drive them down the ILS but with Continuous power- ie no Autothrust. The rest you will have to read on the report.
Leave the ‘89 grievances at the door buddy, no one cares anymore.
