I recall it had something to do with the throttle software thinking the pilots were in landing mode and "refused" to go to high power for the go-around. There's an interesting comment on the topic of "landing mode" in the following article about Boeing vs Airbus control philosophy. The supposed quote from John Lauber, who was vice president of safety and technical affairs for Airbus, specifically mentions it. The relevant section is at the end. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/boe202.shtml Cheers, Kev |
