Just to keep things on track

Someone below mentioned that go-around mode was not available through the TOGA switches because there was weight on the wheels. This is not correct.

The TOGA switches are disabled by height during any landing. They cease to function at 2 feet above the runway and remain disabled until the airplane spends several seconds above 15 feet in any subsequent climb.

If the lads had merely kept hammering away at the switches during the confusion this thread would not exist.
