Go-Around Procedure; Rejected Or Balked Landing - ATP Electronics Piper Archer Training Supplement

Go-Around Procedure

A go-around procedure must be initiated any time the conditions for a safe
approach and landing are not met. Some examples of unsatisfactory approach
and landing conditions are:
• Unstable approach path or airspeed.
• Improper runway alignment.
• Unexpected hazards on the runway or on final.
• Anything that jeopardizes a safe approach and landing.
Any time unsafe or unsatisfactory conditions are encountered, a go-around
must be immediately executed and another approach and landing should be
made under more favorable conditions.
Go-Around / Missed Approach Procedure
1. Throttle – full power.
2. Increase pitch to establish climb at 76 KIAS (V
3. Retract flaps slowly when established at V
4. "After Takeoff Checklist" at pattern altitude or out of 1,000' AGL.
If the go-around or missed approach is due to conflicting traffic, maneuver as
necessary during the climb to clear and avoid conflicting traffic.

Rejected or Balked Landing

As a practical guide, a rejected or balked landing occurs when the airplane is
very low to the ground and usually occurs after the roundout (flare) has begun.
Airspeed may be very low – well below V
must be very careful to establish and maintain a safe airspeed during the
transition to a climb. At slow airspeeds, retracting the flaps too early or abruptly
can result in a significant loss of lift. The pilot must also factor in ground effect
when initiating a rejected or balked landing close to the ground.
Rejected or Balked Landing Procedure
1. Throttle – full power.
2. Carb heat – off.
3. Accelerate to 60 KIAS (if slower) then;
4. Increase pitch to establish climb at 64 KIAS (V
5. Retract flaps slowly when established at V
6. "After Takeoff Checklist" at pattern altitude or out of 1,000' AGL.
