M.Mouse,

I agree, absolutely. The standard manuals ARE vague and there is no specific 'Rejected landing' procedure in the standard FCOM. Indeed, the standard FCOM says to perform a 'normal' go-around in the event of a rejected landing. We can argue all day about a 'normal' go-around requiring the correct attitude and thrust, but there is also a subtle difference in the actions required in the event of a rejected landing and most airlines don't train for it. The airline where I work recognised the problem many years ago and modified their FCOM to include a 'Rejected landing' procedure, with no objection from Boeing. The procedure is trained during the conversion course and is also practiced during our cyclic training.
