FMA = truth

Wow.

It may not explicitly state the lack of TOGA after touching down (you'd have to read Vol 2 in Systems to know that, *gasp* the horror!), but I'm pretty sure it has always stated "Verify Go-Around Thrust Set". Not realizing or remembering you won't have TOGA is forgivable. Not verifying you have what you commanded, less so.

Switches and knobs = rumour.

FMA = truth.
FMA is close to truth
Truth is only if your arrows in the display show in the direction u want em' to show and the airplane is pointing in the direction u want it
It's called basic flying

E.g airbus heading
FMA says heading still the dam thing is turning in de wrong direction

engine display and PFD is the real truth
