CONF iture,

I did not say that on several occasion , some A320 crews did not applied power at Go-Around, they did apply immediately power, but only CLIMB trust power, so no SRS mode, no GA function, etc... if then you set the Auto Pilot back in, Aircraft goes back to the ground very rapidly and with a lot of energy, nose down, (then if you are in IMC and do not read you FMA, like AF , Somographic illusion occurs )and when you see the ground coming , breaking off the cloud layer, you have very few seconds to react and arrest the descent with AP OFF and pull up max...
Hopes this clarifies my words
