A320 question.

[Natstrackalpha]

Can anyone help with this please?


On approach autoland, ILS with autopilot, any approach you want, RNAV, VOR, (I know they are different)


Question is about go around mechanics - (not the rules of)


Physically - at MDA or DH depending on the type of approach -


To go around - select GA alt which has already been pre-set by who ever set it - PF or PM. (That's a question in itself)


2/. Select TOGA assuming we want a hard TOGA go around - (which at this point "Go-Around" would be the case)


-notwithstanding the flap settings and speeds, track, just for this question -


-can one assume therefore that given the same decision to go-around a mere selection of TOGA only (autopilot/s engaged) will continue the flight path in TOGA and will have no affect on climb or descent profile.


In other words - as has been suggested, the aircraft would continue the approach but in TOGA? (not the best of situations.)

[Amadis of Gaul]

Suggested by whom? The airplane will most certainly not continue the approach, as soon as the TLs go to TOGA detent, the FDs go to GA as well.

[Natstrackalpha]

Ah, ha!


That's what I thought, due to my doubt, though, its back to the books for me.


Thank you for your response. (I forgot the poster - but, happily, it stuck in my mind, like a thorn)




added later==


Thanks Dan and Amadis.

For TOGA to be armed, the flap lever must be at 1 or greater.

Hi, In case indication of flap slat is unserviceable or fail in flight, how to confirm the position of flap /slat in flight.
Thanks,

Either look on your ECAM (the flap position indicator) or


Check on your PFD speed tape - check out VLS. check pitch ~ speed ~ power


Ask the Chief flight attendant to look out of the window - of the cabin.


Is that okay?

If you are landing with both slats and flaps jammed at 0 you put the flap lever to position 1 just so that you have the go around mode available. The go around mode works off of the flap lever position, so even if you have a clean wing like in the above case, you will still have the go around mode available as it goes off the lever position.
