Quote from Bengerman:
"...if you are flying an approach with the autopilot disconnected (standard Cat 1) and you have reason to Go Around. A conventional aircraft will pitch up for you as the power comes up, an Airbus will simply fly you into the ground at a higher speed, unless you do some thing about it!"
That's a very sweeping statement.
First: if you're talking about jets, you are assuming engines mounted under the wings.
Second: in that case, you are right to say that the conventional aeroplane will lift its nose beautifully. From then on, particularly during flap retraction, you or the APauto-trim will be working furiously to stop the beast sitting on its tail. Have you ever done it?
