Would TOGA button being pressed be recorded on the FDR?

Always willing to admit when I’m wrong, even after 20 years on this bird. Either way the NTSB will sort it out and produce a report.

F4e needs to understand the difference between flying on the backside of the power curve and the front side, and how absolutely ridiculous it is to think you'd fly a jet on the back side.
Regardless of the cause of the accident, I hope it drives new training standards that emphasize and rewards good hand flying skills with less reliance of automation, and creates a mandate to limit the amount of automation that doesn't give the pilots the final authority. Engineers do NOT know better than line pilots.
