TOGA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the aviation term, for the Roman garment, see Toga.

TOGA is an acronym used in aviation, standing for Take Off/Go Around. It is used to refer to buttons, often mounted on the throttle quadrant, that allow the engines to quickly be brought to full power, either for take off or in the event of a go around. In some cases, during emergencies, such as a microburst, the TOGA button can be used as a shortcut instead of using the throttle lever.
