What I'd quite like to know is, in a hugely automated aircraft, which is supposed to have been designed to make life easier for the crew..

Why doesn't the TOGA button work after touchdown?

Considering you may still need to go around at that phase.

Why introduce a hole into the Swiss cheese?

The philosophy should be simple and unambiguous. If I want to go around, I press TOGA. At any time prior to commanding reverses open.

Too much of the automation is conditionally ambiguous. I'd love to see the results of an in depth tech exam on flight automation given to operating flight crew. Who thinks they would score 100%?
