Keg you cannot be serious....hitting GA and then instantly disconnecting the A/T?

The Boeing equivalent of the TOGA TAP is probably hitting GA and then FLCH (with an appropriate altitude in the MCP) which will give you a nice 'gentle' GA rather than the hair on fire version with attendant potential low level alt cap.

While a reasonable concept for a GA above say 1000' in VMC it would be less than clever, in my view, at 200' in IMC.

There seems little inherantly wrong with the concept of TOGA TAP...just a shedload wrong with the application of the concept...that is a training and systems knowledge issue.
