'It's not like he's the first person ever to stuff the thrust levers forward and keep following the FDs down on a go around.'


Seriously ?


If you're that confused you have no business in the left or right hand seat, that's a basic flying skill that any professional pilot should have.


A go around in a B757 is simplicity itself, one click of the TOGA buttons and you get a nice, smooth 2000fpm climb and LNAV flies the MAP for you.



If you hit the wrong button(s) then just disconnect everything and fly it.


To get to 287 Kias with the flaps out is just unbelievable.
