Out of our B787 SOP.

Review Requirement for Mandatory Go Around

• If Insufficient Visual references: and

• Below 1000’ HAT;
• Remedial Instrument switching required.

• Between 1000’ HAT and 200’ RA (Alert Ht):
• ‘AUTOPILOT (DISC)’ Mast Caut/Warn;
• 'NO AUTOLAND’ Mast Caut;
• ILS/GLS deviation alert.

• Between 1000’ HAT and 200’ RA (Alert Ht) for CAT IIIB ops only:
• ‘AUTOTHROTTLE DISC’ Mast Caut;
• 'NO LAND 3’ - Mast Caut;

• Between Alert Height and the DH:
• ‘AUTOTHROTTLE DISC’ Mast Caut;
• ‘SPEEDBRAKE EXTENDED’ Mast Caut;
• ‘AUTOPILOT (DISC)’ Mast Caut/Warn;
• ILS/GLS deviation alert.

So, if you can see runway centreline lights, you can Land.

The A/P sets up for the flare and landing at 500' and again at 300', so in theory it should be all trimmed out and may just require a bit of back pressure to make a nice touch down.

the other issue is, if you do Go Around, make sure you manually push the trust levers up as the TOGA switches won't work if/when you make contact with the runway (EK 777 Dubai). there will be lots of ringing and dinging during the initial G/A until established climbing away due to the config change during the bounce. Always check the Altimeter for positive climb and the FMA to see what modes you've got before banging away on the TOGA switches.

This is our A320 SOP

If insufficient visual reference at DH.
If insufficient visual references and:

• Below 1000 ft HAT:
• Remedial instrument switching required
• Between 1000 ft HAT and 100 ft RA:
• • • • • •

Engine failure
Alpha floor activation
Any amber caution (single chime)
Loss of CAT II / CAT III – as applicable (triple click)
Autopilot off (cavalry charge)
No LAND on FMA at 350ft RA

Same same, but a little bit easier in the 'Bus as the GA mode will activate once the thrust levers are in the TOGA detent (from memory). still need to check for positive climb and the correct modes on the FMA.
