TAKEOFF (TO) AND GO AROUND (GA) MODES
Go Around and Takeoff modes are coupled pitch and roll modes and are annunciated as both the vertical
and lateral modes when active. In these modes, the flight director commands a constant set pitch attitude and
keeps the wings level. The
GA Switch is used to select both modes. The mode entered by the flight director
depends on whether the aircraft is on the ground.
Takeoff Mode provides an attitude reference during rotation and takeoff. This mode can be selected only
while on the ground by pushing the
GA Switch. The flight director Command Bars assume a wings-level,
10° pitch-up attitude.
Pressing the
GA Switch while in the air activates the flight director in a wings-level, 8° pitch-up attitude,
allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around. Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot and
arms Selected Altitude Capture Mode automatically. Subsequent autopilot engagement is allowed. Attempts
to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e., with the
NOSE UP/DN Wheel or CWS Button) result in reversion to Pitch
and Roll Hold modes.
