No where does it specifically specify you are to remain in the selected lever position during a Go around,
Really? It gets very interesting when it comes to retracting flaps(slats actually). The QRH says for diversion if flaps jammed at zero select clean configuration. Maintain speed close to Vapp(Due to pitch trim unusable). The problem is F and S speeds are false and they will take you for a ride. How and when do you retract the slats? Airbus doesn't tell you what to do
If you get time Google 'Confirmation bias' it's very interesting what we as humans do in situations even when told what to expect.
Never do anything out of bias.
For 60T the Vref is 130+25 the Vapp is 155kts. You cannot retract at that speed. You need to increase the speed close to 195 before retracting and once in clean you cannot come back to 155kts. You have to fly out of trim to save your life. What QRH says is poppy cock. All this needs to be thought of and briefed before the approach begins. So diversion is virtually out of question. Do your FORDEC carefully. May be another few approaches but diversion? No way!
