Go-Around/Rejected Landing

FAA references

Knowledge

• PA.IV.N.K1: A stabilized approach, including energy management concepts.
• PA.IV.N.K2: Effects of atmospheric conditions, including wind and density altitude, on a go-around or rejected landing.
• PA.IV.N.K3: Wind correction techniques on takeoff/departure and approach/landing.

Risk management

• PA.IV.N.R2: Delayed performance of a go-around at low altitude.
• PA.IV.N.R3: Power application.
• PA.IV.N.R4: Configuring the airplane.
• PA.IV.N.R5: Collision hazards.
• PA.IV.N.R6: Low altitude maneuvering, including stall, spin, or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).
• PA.IV.N.R7: Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.
• PA.IV.N.R8: Runway incursion.
• PA.IV.N.R9: Managing a go-around/rejected landing after accepting a LAHSO clearance.

Skills

• PA.IV.N.S1: Complete the appropriate checklist(s).
• PA.IV.N.S2: Make radio calls as appropriate.
• PA.IV.N.S3: Make a timely decision to discontinue the approach to landing.
• PA.IV.N.S4: Apply takeoff power immediately and transition to climb pitch attitude for VX or VY as appropriate +10/-5 knots.
• PA.IV.N.S5: Configure the airplane after a positive rate of climb has been verified or in accordance with airplane manufacturer’s instructions.
• PA.IV.N.S6: Maneuver to the side of the runway/landing area when necessary to clear and avoid conflicting traffic.
• PA.IV.N.S7: Maintain VY +10/-5 knots to a safe maneuvering altitude.
• PA.IV.N.S8: Maintain directional control and proper wind-drift correction throughout the climb.
• PA.IV.N.S9: Use runway incursion avoidance procedures, if applicable.
