Phases Of Flight Delta Assessment Practice Test

A go-around is initiated when a safe landing cannot be achieved on the current approach. This includes scenarios like an unstable approach, deteriorating weather, or runway conditions that make a landing unsafe. The idea is to transition to a safe climb and set up for another approach rather than trying to force a landing. The basic steps involve: applying the go-around power and a nose-up attitude to establish a positive rate of climb, retracting flaps according to the operating procedure as you accelerate, and reconfiguring the aircraft for a new approach (usually retracting landing gear when appropriate and setting the aircraft for the missed-approach or another approach path). Throughout, maintain a safe airspeed, confirm a positive rate of climb, and coordinate with air traffic control as you prepare for the next approach.
