GO AROUND MODE (GA)
Go Around mode is a coupled pitch and roll mode and is annunciated as both the
vertical and lateral modes when active. The
GA
button installed in the cockpit is used
to activate Go Around mode.
Go Around mode can also be activated while the aircraft is on the ground and used
to establish an attitude reference to follow immediately after takeoff.
WARNING:
When GA mode is activated for takeoff the autopilot should
not be engaged until the aircraft has reached the Minimum Use Height
(MUH) specified in the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS).
Pressing the
GA
button while in the air allows the execution of a missed approach
or a go around without disconnecting the autopilot (i.e. Coupled Go Around). Go
Around mode arms Selected Altitude Capture mode automatically, and any attempts
to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e., with the
CWS
button or the
NOSE UP/DN
wheel)
result in reversion to Pitch and Roll Hold modes.

The GMC 605 and GI 285 annunciate ‘GA’ in both vertical and lateral sections. If
the Selected Altitude Capture mode is available, the GMC 605 also shows the ‘ALTS’
annunciation in the armed vertical mode section.
