What is the recommended action during a go-around?

During a go-around, the recommended action is to increase power and gain altitude. This is a critical safety procedure when a landing is not stable or conditions are not favorable to continue the landing approach.

The primary goal during a go-around is to ensure that the aircraft climbs safely away from the runway, providing the pilot with a chance to reassess and perform another approach if necessary. Upon initiating a go-around, pilots should add full power to establish a positive rate of climb, which will help to create the necessary altitude buffer to safely navigate the airspace around the runway.

Retracting flaps slowly is not the first priority during a go-around. While it is important to manage flaps properly during the ascent, maintaining climb performance and safely clearing obstacles is paramount. The pilot can typically start flap retraction once a stable climb has been established, but initially, the focus should be on power application and altitude gain.

Choosing to land without hesitation could lead to dangerous situations if the approach is not stable. Making a hard turn away from the runway is also not advisable as it can lead to loss of control or stall conditions, especially if the aircraft is not at an appropriate altitude or airspeed.

Overall, a go-around is about ensuring safety by focusing
