In the FCOM Chapter 4, Section 20 under the heading 'Automatic Flight - Go-Around' there is one line:
I have always felt there are many items in the Boeing manuals which have cursory or vague explanations of various systems or scenarios. Given the importance of understanding the inhibition of the Autothrottle system in the event of a rejected landing and especially in light of this accident the explanation in the Boeing manuals of this particular quirk of the system seems woefully inadequate.
indeed - well said
but if the Boeing wording is so ambiguous (which i read many post back on the day of the accident) then Pilots in training should be red flagged that one implicitly as GA's are a thing that will be with them more so in the future as airports get busier so it needs to be 2nd nature
