EK pilots don't use A/P on for LDG's unless it is autoland LDG required to keep recency and knowing the wx conditions at the time of arr that was the case.
Personally I would also disengage A/T at the same time...anytime not happy with outcome of LDG phase go for GA and announce it so the PM knows your intentions, it looks like in case of B777 you need to press TOGA switches twice, first time for FD guidance and second time for your
thrust in order to climb out
in case of 521, maybe PF accidentally disengaged A/T instead of selecting GA and here we go....no FD bars no thrust and bad decision of PM raising gear up on positive climb (induced by bounce)
