We rarely do them and when we do they usually don’t go as planned. Your instructors always told you to be ready for one and be spring loaded to perform one. We hear many accidents and incidents of pilots performing one with no success. What are we talking about? The go around. In this episode we will discuss how you can have a successful go around every time you fly.

Cruise Flight:
Our successful and not so successful go-arounds.
What is a successful go-around?
Why go around?
Situations such as air traffic control (ATC) requirements
- unexpected appearance of hazards on the runway
- overtaking another airplane
- wind shear
- wake turbulence
- mechanical failure
- unstable approach
How to make all your go arounds successful.
- Decide early
- Unstabilized approach
- Power and Pitch up.
- Don’t point at the ground.
- Assure airspeed is going up and altitude is not going down.
- Know your airplane. Most planes pitch up but some pitch down when applying power.
Go arounds are a normal maneuver not an emergency.
Why we don’t go around when we should
- Mission driven
- We feel it will reflect negatively upon us as pilots
- Get-there-itis
- Pressure from passengers
- Plane needs to be back at the FBO soon
