If I flew with the same degree of accuracy that Kenny researched and wrote his article, I'd be out of a job.

No-one asks ATC for permission to go around, the aircraft does not continue to accelerate in the early stages of climb (<1500ft), and in the landing gear does not slam into the wheelbays, no matter how firmly PNF may pull the lever up! Etc, etc. The G/A was almost certainly performed with the automatics in, acc. EI SOP's.

There is really no excuse for publishing mis-leading verbiage, and the editors must be held as responsible as the journalists. (When I retire, I may well see if I can become the first journalist who understands professional aviation.)
