Planning for a go-around and rejected landing.
Planning for a go-around and rejected landing.
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. An attempt to climb prematurely may result in the airplane not being able to climb or even maintain altitude at full power.
