Inadvertent Pilot Activation of Go-Around Mode
SAFO 21006 Safety Alert for Operators warns about the risk of inadvertent pilot activation of the go-around mode on Boeing 757 and 767 airplanes. This alert follows a fatal accident involving a Boeing 767-375BCF where unintended go-around mode activation contributed to a steep dive and crash. The document highlights the proximity of the speedbrake lever to the go-around switches as a factor in accidental activation during turbulence.
