Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
You’re the PF on a Flaps 40 approach in the weather. Autothrottles and autopilot are engaged. At Decision Altitude, the runway environment is not in sight. TO direct a Missed Approach, the correct call out is:
Go around flaps 15
Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
After calling the missed approach, you advance the thrust levers to the desired go-around thrust and push TO/GA once.
What is the callout for the PM?
What do you expect him/her to do with the thrust levers?
Go Around
Adjust thrust levers as necessary
Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
What will occur when you push the TO/GA button?
Pushing TO/GA once will disconnect the autopilot and cause the auto throttle to advance the thrust levers to a reduced go-around setting.
Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
When can you re-engage the autopilot?
1000 feet AAE
Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
At 1000 ft AAE, with the MCP airspeed window closed, what should the callout be for the PF?
“Flaps 5”
Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
During a normal two-engine missed approach after pushing the TO/GA button, will the MCP window be open or closed?
What will cause the window to open?
When the TO/GA button is pushed, the MCP airspeed window will close. The window will open when:
- a manual selection of Vertical Speed or Level Change,…
- the auto pilot is engaged or…
- the flight director transitions to Altitude Acquire
Missed Approach Procedure and Automation
During the missed approach, what guidance will the Flight Director provide:
- In pitch mode?
- In Roll Mode?
Pitch - 15 deg nose up until reaching programmed rate of climb, - then - target airspeed for each flap setting.
Roll - Ground track at time of engagement. When a missed approach exists in the FMC, the go-around track hold mode will automatically transition to LNAV
