Impacted by TR38 Issue 1.0

Monitor and crosscheck all primary flight parameters and the FMA during all phases of flight.

During ILS approaches with autopilot engaged, and in the event of an unexpected early "THR IDLE"

and "FLARE" engagement:

‐ Immediately perform an automatic go-around applying TOGA thrust, or

‐ Immediately disconnect the autopilot, then:

• Continue the landing using raw data or visual references (FDs set to OFF), or

• Perform a manual go-around applying TOGA thrust.

CAUTION Significant longitudinal sidestick input may be required.

Note: In case of go-around (automatic or manual), when climb gradient is established, reduce

thrust without delay (thrust levers set to CLB detent).
