Under which conditions is the A/P GA mode NOT available?

A/P GA mode is an autopilot go-around function that only works when the airplane’s autopilot system is fully engaged and the aircraft is in the appropriate phase of operation. It won’t be available if there’s no autopilot active or if only one autopilot channel is engaged, because go-around control requires redundant, dual-channel autopilot authority to manage the flight path safely. In a dual autopilot setup, this mode also isn’t available until the FLARE ARMED condition is set, ensuring the aircraft is cleared and ready for a go-around during the approach. When both of these conditions are not met—no autopilot or only a single autopilot engaged, or before FLARE ARMED in dual-AP operation—the A/P GA mode cannot be selected.
