i.e. 'Automatic dependent' pilots may have difficulty in assessing the 'on ground go-around' situation as similar to a 'take off' situation, even though they have the basic skills for both.
I entirely agree. Pilots do indeed retain the basic skills for both. Firstly because it's very simple, and secondly because those same skills are practiced on every take off!
Without manual flight practice pilots were still able able to maintain the basic flying skills (how to) but the 'when to skills', matching skill sets to scenarios degraded.
Precisely why it's a good idea to refresh those scenarios on a regular basis during briefings, when relevant. That way, even when it HASN'T been relevant, at least it's not been too long since you last thought about it!
"Even on the ground, we can still go-around any time before we select reverse. To do that, the first thing we will do is firewall the thrust levers. After that, barring the valid t/o config warning, it's not going to be terribly different to a take off? A couple of seconds after airborne, we'll just run the usual go-around procedure. Questions?"
