HPSOV L:
The Rejected Landing procedure in our 777 FCOM states the following:
If a go-around is initiated before touchdown and a touchdown occurs continue with normal go-around procedure.
If a go-around is initiated after touchdown:
Manually advance the thrust levers to go-around thrust,
TO/GA switches are inhibited,
Autothrottle is not available,
Autobrakes disarm,
Speedbrake lever stows,
CONFIG FLAPS warning will occur.
Maintain flap configuration,
At VREF rotate normally,
Once safely airborne press TO/GA switches,
Perform normal go-around.
The problem with a bounced landing recovery is that the TOGA switches do not become active again until a short time (2 seconds??) after the aircraft becomes airborne. Pressing them will do nothing until after the inhibit ends. The Rejected Landing procedure in our FCOM covers both cases.
I understand the Rejected Landing procedure is not included in the 777 AFM, but I also understand that some airlines, including my employer, have chosen to include it in their FCOM, presumably with Boeing's blessing. Why hasn't Boeing seen fit to include it in the AFM for use by all operators?
