FMAs: In HF parlance it's called Mode Awareness, an important component of SA flying highly automated airplanes. Easy to argue, was a factor both here and in Asiana 214. 3 levels of SA: Notice, Understand, Think ahead. System knowledge is needed to make sense of 'Noticing' to 'Understand'. Agree, though, that during a rejected landing flying "pitch, power, performance" is the way to go remembering that automatic g/a is not possible after touchdown. When airborne, push toga and confirm mode engagements from the FMA. All by the book.
