the pitch of full power would rapidly raise the nose,
If I understand the Airbus FBW system, when 'hand flying' the aircraft, selection of TOGA will simply cause the aircraft to accelerate at the current pitch attitude. Current pitch will be maintained by FBW, and there will be NO pitch up. Only intervention on the side-stick will cause the pitch attitude to change. If the autoflight system is engaged, selection of TOGA causes an automatic pitch-up.
Is this correct?
