Regarding the go around thrust call

So lets say your flying the aircraft as Mr Boeing asks I.e manual thrust when the AP is off, You initiate a go-around calling go around flaps 15 simultaneously pressing TOGA and advancing the thrust levers.

You might not necessarily have go around thrust, you could be 5% short- especially if you didn't configure your seat correctly.

I was picked up in the sim from a TRE regarding this issue. So, when I brief regarding a go around, I mention the go around actions and to verify go around thrust is set, once a positive climb is established call for the gear to be raised.

It is the PM job to verify the actions have been carried out correctly and a common one is verifying go around thrust is set. We rely heavily on automation, so when we are finally flying the thing ourselves we forget its manual thrust and pressing TOGA will not give you the thrust required if you don't push forward! (If the speed is off then TOGA will push the levers forward).
