Aviate , Navigate, Communicate (ANC) is the Airbus (now) mantra which applies to Boeing as well albeit different .

Really? I'm a Boeing man and never known anything different. It was drummed into me in B732 days and I've been drumming it into every student I had on B757/767/737 over the last 25 years. Plus: Attitude, attitude, attitude and power as necessary = performance.

An RTO is never a surprise; take off is a bonus: a Go Round is never a surprise; landing is a happy conclusion to the approach. Somewhere on approach run through the G/A actions in your mind. An ATC wave off is always a possibility; an unstable approach at 500' is always a possibility; a quick shift in wind at low level causing a float is always a possibility: the G/A is never a surprise and should be a doddle to the alert airman. It's what the pax expect. Professional standards at all times.
