| N. Go-Around/Rejected Landing | ||
| References | FAA-H-8083-3; POH/AFM; AIM | |
| Objective | To determine that the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with a go-around/rejected landing with emphasis on factors that contribute to landing conditions that require a go-around. | |
| The applicant demonstrates understanding of | ||
| K1 | A stabilized approach to include energy management concepts | |
| K2 | Effects of atmospheric conditions, including wind and density altitude on a go-around or rejected landing | |
| K3 | Wind correction techniques on takeoff/departure and approach/landing | |
| The Applicant demonstrates the ability to identify, assess and mitigate risks encompassing: | ||
| R1 | Delayed recognition of the need for a go-around / rejected landing | |
| R2 | Delayed performance of a go-around at low altitude | |
| R3 | Improper application of power | |
| R4 | Improper airplane configuration | |
| R5 | Collision hazards to include aircraft, terrain, obstacles, wires, vehicle, vessels, persons, and wildlife | |
| R6 | Low altitude maneuvering including stall, spin or CFIT | |
| R7 | Distractions, loss of situational awareness, or improper task management | |
| The applicant demonstrates the ability to: | ||
| S1 | Complete the appropriate checklist | |
| S2 | Make radio calls as appropriate | |
| S3 | Make a timely decision to discontinue the approach to landing | |
| S4 | Apply takeoff power immediately and transition to climb pitch attitude for Vx or Vy as appropriate +10/-5 knots | |
| S5 | Configure the airplane after a positive rate of climb has been verified or in accordance with the airplane manufacturer's instructions. | |
| S6 | Maneuver to the side of the runway / landing area when necessary to clear and avoid conflicting traffic | |
| S7 | Maintain Vy +10/-5 knots to a safe maneuvering altitude | |
| S8 | Maintain directional control and proper wind-drift correction throughout the climb. | |
