Buzzbox:

'rejected landing' and 'bounced landing recovery' are not necessarily the same thing in this context. Boeing manuals don't have a direct reference, unless your airline has customised them. I don't work for EK by the way.


Boeing FCTM:

"When a high, hard bounce occurs, initiate a go-around. Apply go-around thrust and use normal go-around procedures. Do not retract the landing gear until a positive rate of climb is established because a second touchdown may occur during the go-around"

Boeing FCOM:

"The TO/GA switches are inhibited when on the ground and enabled again when in the air for a go–around or touch and go."


Actually, something doesn't add up with this theory: during a bounce you'd only be on the ground for an instant so presumably TOGA would've been selected airborne and should work.
