In this situation, the crew must manually advance the thrust levers to command go-around power. Its flaps started to retract to the ‘20’ position – the normal go-around setting – some 4s after that, and the landing-gear lever was activated 2s later.Ĭrucially, the inquiry does not mention whether the take-off/go-around switch, normally used to command go-around thrust from the engines, was activated.īut the investigators point out that these switches on the 777 are inhibited once the aircraft’s landing-gear touches down.
