How to Execute Go Around (Missed Approach)


So, your landing is going badly, and you don't want to continue?  Then you should execute a go around. In this tutorial, I will show you how. 

Apply TO/GA power (usually 100% throttle), and retract flaps to flaps 2. (10-15 degrees). Pull up gently and start climbing. Upon a positive rate of climb, retract the landing gear. 

Continue climbing to 6000 feet, then perform a 180 degrees turn, and realign with the runway. Now continue with the landing. In some cases, it is required to circle around the airport to land on the same runway and angle. Make sure your bank dont exceed 30 degrees.

    1. Tilt you device towards you. I would assume you don't know what pull up means.
