ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Planning for a go-around and rejected landing.

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. Although the need to discontinue a landing may arise at any point in the landing process, the most critical go-around is one started when very close to the ground.
