Discontinued Approach

Funny you should bring up "Discontinued Approaches"
That is exactly what we had in the Sim last week. Was told to " Go Around" at 2000 feet during LVP's on the approach at HEL. Go Around Alt is quite low at 1500. So disengaged approach mode, pressed vertical speed zero ( press to level off) it dumps the flight plan though as TOGA not selected so flight plan not sequenced. No big deal, activate secondary, unless you have something else in the secondary, we had a copy of active. Not the sort of excersise we would normally do on an LPC though but definitely worth it
