Hi John
Nowhere on this page does it say anything along the lines regarding the Go around mode and the fact that "it is inhibited/not available during the takeoff phase."
And nor should it - the page is about FMGS flight phases, not about AP/FD modes.
I did not ever say there was.
In that case I must have misunderstood this sentence...
Why does setting TOGA during the "initial climb" phase give you the Go Around if you are still in the "CLIMB phase".
I tend to be pedantic when using Airbus technical language and assume everyone else is trying to be as accurate...
You actually answered the query well in Post 3 but we seem to have got confused along the way ..
To check your understanding of "phases" and "modes" try this poser...
On base leg, flying level, FMA's say SPD ALT HDG, Flap 0, you activate the approach.
You then select TOGA.
1. What is the FMGS flight phase?
2. Will the FMA change, if so to what?
