just a 332 driver.

This must be one of the few places a NPA is carried out.

Mostly on ILS, I have heard Pilots brief " Go Around will be with AP ON"

Very nice for ILS but not suited for NPA.

If I recall correctly, AP disconnects at MDA +_ some ht, maybe 50 feet.

Ergo, If on approach, if TOGA is delayed by 2-5 seconds at MDA,
say "MDA- Field not in Sight" Go Around Flaps"

You have TOGA and no AP and a downward vector
