Rat5, just to clarify, once in level flight , accelerating towards 'up speed', speed protection can actually give a descent.
When on a S.E missed apprch we climb to accel alt, then accelerate by calling for up speed. At high GW this is virtually a level segment. It is during this portion that a descent can occur.
Used this in 3 companies on the 737.
