OK.
B737-400 auto throttle in, auto pilot out, CAT 1 approach G/A from, say, 200'. In the time it takes to say "Go Around, Flap X" apply nose down trim to counter over-rotation from pitch couple in a light aircraft....If you do not then you have to push quite hard! All B737 pilots know this!!
Airbus in same config has no pitch couple so after power shoved into TOGA aircraft will simply accelerate UNLESS pitch up is manually applied...result one smoking hole!
The title of the thread is "How safe is (airbus) fbw?
