AUTOMATIC G/A OR MANUAL G/A

Its really very simple.we all rarely do a go-around in line flying.if its an automatic/autopilot g/a it is extremely easy, however the main issue is when the a/p has been selected off then a g/a is required for some reason.the answer is to use a sensible (lower ) thrust setting than full g/a power during the early part of the g/a.on the 767 i fly full thrust is 1:47 epr, however manually setting a lower epr of about 1:30 epr will give you a manageable handling situation before you re-engage the automatics and everything will be comfortable.this is the key action.i have been a 757/767 tre since 1990 and am still active at it, works just fine and dandy, believe me.try it.
