Go-Around/Rejected Landing
To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with a go-around/rejected landing. Note: See Appendix 3: Aircraft, Equipment, and Operational Requirements & Limitations for information related to this Task.
Bottom line
A go-around is a normal maneuver that is used when approach and landing parameters deviate from expectations or when it is hazardous to continue.
