a. Rejected landing and go-around
Planning for: a. Rejected landing and go-around
Bottom line
Situations such as air traffic control (ATC) requirements, unexpected appearance of hazards on the runway, overtaking another airplane, wind shear, wake turbulence, mechanical failure, or an unstable approach are all reasons to discontinue a landing approach. When the decision to go around is made, the throttles should be advanced to takeoff power and pitch adjusted to arrest the sink rate.
