B777 logic - balked landing/GA after touch down

Hi,

There are a couple of threads running on the Emirates accident the other day so not looking to start a new debate.

As a B777 driver I have been looking in my manuals for information on what happens when you select TOGA after touchdown. My memory is failing me but it is along the lines of.......if you are less than 5' for less than 2seconds then you need to manually advance thrust levers. If you are less than 5' for more than 2 seconds you don't get FD guidance. In either case you are required to select TOGA again once airborne.

I appreciate that what I wrote above is most likely wrong, but you know where I am coming from. Not suggesting this is what happened, I am just trying to satisfy my own curiosity and find the reference which I cannot find in either FCOM or FCTM. Any help greatfully accepted.

Regards,

GBD
