The document outlines changes to the Descent and Go-around procedures for Boeing 777 aircraft, aiming to enhance pilot awareness of TO/GA (Takeoff/Go-around) and thrust logic during critical maneuvers such as go-arounds, rejected landings, and balked landings. The changes are prompted by past incidents where improper thrust management led to aircraft damage or loss. The updated procedures emphasize the importance of manually advancing thrust levers when TO/GA does not respond as expected, particularly near the ground. Training is recommended for pilots to ensure they are familiar with these procedures and aware of the need for thrust management during dynamic maneuvers. These updates will be integrated into the Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM) and the Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM) in future revisions.
Note for Instructors:
- Emphasize the need for manual thrust lever advancement during go-arounds, particularly if TO/GA does not respond.
- Ensure pilots understand the changes in the descent and go-around procedures, focusing on thrust management awareness.
- Include training on balked landing or go-around after touchdown, with a focus on the manual application of thrust.
- Highlight the procedural updates in the FCOM and FCTM during training sessions.
- Reinforce the importance of maintaining awareness of thrust lever position and system behavior during landing maneuvers.
