There has been a subtle yet important change at my outfit (primarily Airbus) recently when the company changed the wording of our SOP's to state then when all factors had been considered the practice of autopilot and auto thrust off is encouraged.

Thankfully, all the go arounds that I have ever conducted have been reported, acknowledged by a simple "thank you for your report" response and that has been the end of it. Unfortunately, very few of my offsiders ever take the opportunity to take this opportunity. I can only conclude that the cultural change needs to spread through all levels of the company.
