GO AROUND (GA) AND TAKEOFF (TO) 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 activate both modes. The mode entered by the flight director depends on
whether the aircraft is on the ground or in the air.
Takeoff Mode provides an attitude reference during rotation and takeoff. This mode
can be selected only while on the ground by pushing the TO/GA Button. The flight
director Command Bars assume a wings-level, pitch-up attitude.
Pressing the TO/GA Button while in the air activates the flight director in a wings-
level, pitch-up attitude, allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around.
9.3 LATERAL MODES
The following table lists the lateral modes and respective control(s) and annunciation.
