Is it necessary to press both TOGA and A/P DISC to disconnect autopilot during go-around?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Sometimes
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

During a go-around, TOGA is used to command the maneuver. The autopilot can be disengaged through separate controls, and you do not have to press both to disconnect it. Pressing TOGA initiates the go-around and, in many configurations, will take control away from the autopilot as part of that maneuver, while AP DISC serves as a separate switch to disconnect autopilot if you want manual control. Since these are independent actions, one is enough to relinquish autopilot control; you don’t need to press both at the same time.
