a. Rejected landing and go-around

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Planning for: a. Rejected landing and go-around

Bottom line

An attempt to climb prematurely may result in the airplane not being able to climb or even maintain altitude at full power. The instant a pilot decides to go around, full or maximum allowable takeoff power should be applied smoothly, without hesitation, and held until flying speed and controllability are restored.
