Seen so many poor Go Arounds but less since we left the autopilot engaged and used VNAV for the vertical profile. (LNAV has been used for lateral guidance from way back). Far less confusion especially when all spd/ht constraints have been studiously checked beforehand. By definition, a Go Around is unexpected - great to see a good crew carry out a faultless procedure. Says a lot about them............
