Hi,Harry,last post from me on this one,...Autopilot use was not a recommendation from me,just an option,if you are too gut tired,after a long duty.
The Boeing pilots here will understand at which point an automated goaround is no longer available.
In this incident,they may have been in manual control,and recovering from a very uncomfortable and maybe never previously seen scenario.
However,the procedure and parameters of thrust,flap,attitude and positive climb do not change....the energy management is still the same...as the MD11 guys have commented.
Couldn't agree more on your comments regarding over reliance of automation...
