Go-Around/Rejected Landing
To determine the applicant understands go-around/rejected landing with emphasis on factors that contribute to landing conditions that may require a go-around, can apply that knowledge, manage associated risks, demonstrate appropriate skills, and provide effective instruction.
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.
