Not sure if was full thrust but had a touch down and take-off (touched for like a second) in a snow storm at PHL because of potential equipment on the runway. I never heard or felt engines like that (not sure was full) and think an A321 if memory serves me correctly
Would they use full thrust in an instance like that?

I think a Go Around/Aborted Landing it is pretty much the only time 100% thrust is used. So it seems very likely in your case.
Quote:
When the pilot is instructed or decides to go around, the pilot applies full power to the engine(s), adopts an appropriate climb attitude and airspeed, raises the landing gear when the airplane is positively climbing, retracts the flaps as necessary, follows the instructions of the control tower (at a towered field), and typically climbs into the traffic pattern for another circuit if required.
Many modern aircraft, such as the Boeing and Airbus series, use systems with go-around modes that automatically set maximum available power and pitch the aircraft for best performance, using a TO/GA button.
They use a lot of faith yeah I mean I always wondered how something so heavy can even get off the ground. I mean I know burds can fly but not the bigger ones lyke.
There must be a legitimate reason for a flight crew to use 100% power for any A/C operation.
When the operational record recorded in the onboard computer indicates "other than ordinary" or
"irregular" operation, someone is going to have to explain why this occurred. What do you think
the Captain or First Officer is writing as you deplane? "XXX operation, requiring XXX action(s)"
Don't sweat the % used on T/O!
