so, there you are making an approach in tough conditions ...maybe you have the autothrottles working to keep the speed right...and then you go around...good move, TOGA pull up clean up and off you go

but now you come back again...might you have not properly set the autothrottles up again for the approach speed? could you have disconnected the AT and forgot to hook them up again?

now you are circling in tough conditions looking out the window trying to find the runway and you are losing airspeed...but you aren't watching as you think the autothrottles will keep a safe speed and bang!

never flew the A310 or any bus...I think the throttles move on that one, right????
