Written by Jack on May 31st, 2008
The #1 Flight Sim Game
'Real-Life' Flying With 120+ Aircraft & 20,000 Real World Airports!
Objective: To teach the student the proper procedures and technique for executing an alternative to a landing that cannot be accomplished for any reason.
Content: Before Flight:

  • Review relevant aircraft aerodynamics and performance characteristics
  • Go-around is not an emergency-only maneuver
  • Power – number one concern
  • Altitude
  • Configuration – flaps first, then landing gear
    • Full flaps usually create more drag than landing gear
    • In case aircraft accidentally touches down during go-around initiation, gear down and locked will be advantageous
    • Dangers of immediate full flap retraction
  • Anticipation of aerodynamic forces

During Flight:

  • Student executes maneuver and instructor offers corrections when needed

See aircraft AFM/POH

See AFH C. 8-11

See AFH Figure 8-14
Completion Standards: The lesson is complete when the instructor determines that the student can perform a proper go-around by making a timely decision to discontinue the landing, applying takeoff power immediately and pitching for Vy, performing other required elements of the go-around.
