Just a quick question regarding the role of the auto-pilot in the go-around.. Do modern FMC databases contain go-around procedures for most of the major airports?? If they do then the presence of high ground around Geneva should not be a problem as the "computer" is there to guide you away from it. Am I assuming that the auto-pilot is relied upon too much here, especially in tight situations such as this one seems to be?
