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.

Preflight Checklist:
Sponsor: AviationCareersPodcast.com – Scholarships, Career Coaching, and Interview Preparation.
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
