Thank you, 16024.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure all aircraft with AFDS are designed to behave this way to ensure an immediate MAP even if the pilots forgot to wind the MCP ALT up (eg for a...

TOGA arms at 2500RA, so if you press TOGA, whichever parts of the AFDS are on will engage in that mode, regardless of MCP altitude. The MCP altitude will, if above the alt at which TOGA was pressed,...

A 737 go around is very simple. The only trap is the alt aquire MCP speed window opening while you're still accelerating, which can leave you below the manouvering speed for new flap position, so...
