yet an all engine go around is not on the list
And even if it is, the pilot goes through the same old same old of press TOGA (and all that does is bring up the flight director anyway so the pilot blindly follows the dancing needles - not much skill in that...) If the autothrottles had been already disconnected then he has to manually open the power. if the autothrottles are already engaged for the final approach then pressing TOGA simply gives enough power for an initial graduated rate of climb.
Read the recent A380 Air France incident report where the first officer and captain botched a manual go around alarmingly overspeeding the flaps, busting altitudes - it was an astounding cock-up.
In the jets featuring in the video it might be as high as 1,000 ft.
It could also be as low as 50 feet with the wheels likely touching the runway during transition to climb away. A go-around from the landing flare with a low level altitude restriction is wonderful handling practice in the simulator. But we need to differentiate between an autopilot go-around and a non-automatics go-around from the flare. In real life in low visibility the go-around will probably be on full automatics. But if the discussion is about pilot proficiency in manual flying, then the operator must accept the fact that currency on manual flying is vital.
Because manual flying in jet transports (and some turbo-prop operators in Australia, too) is mostly confined to a few minutes after lift off to a minute before touch down, then simulator time has to be made available to allow practice at such things as a raw data manual go-around from 50 feet. This requires excellent skills which are honed with practice.
So this manoeuvre (manual raw data go around) is not an every day event on line of course. But the pilot needs to be thoroughly confident and competent if it happens. This is why simulator training on this low level manoeuvre is so important. Everything is packed into that low level go-around and things happen real quick. That is why it becomes an ideal way to ensure pilot instrument flying proficiency.
With the freeze and reposition facility on simulators, several go-arounds can be practiced within a short period of time (15 minutes?). Flown manually, without all the fancy automatic features including flight directors, it becomes an enjoyable worthwhile exercise
designed solely to improve pilot basic instrument flying skills.
It is not meant to be just another a Ho Hum box ticking one/off exercise - at least it shouldn't be.
