A couple of questions

Hi all, amazing thread! I hope I can add a couple of autopilot questions:

1. Did anyone ever use the IAS Hold button in the vertical mode, i.e. control speed with pitch instead of autothrottle? I always thought it might be used during climbout to maintain 250 knots under 10000 feet at full throttle.

2. How did the autopilot work in 'Go Around' mode and was it ever used, or were go arounds always done manually?

Thanks in advance,

Jim
