ATP Electronics Piper Archer - Go-Around Procedure; Rejected or Balked Landing

34 • Arrival Procedures
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 nal.
• 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
Y
).
3. Retract aps slowly when established at V
Y
and clear of obstacles.
4. “After Takeo Checklist” at pattern altitude or out of 1,000' AGL.
If the go-around or missed approach is due to conicting trac, maneuver as
necessary during the climb to clear and avoid conicting trac.
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 (are) has begun.
Airspeed may be very low – well below V
X
or V
Y
in some cases – and the pilot
must be very careful to establish and maintain a safe airspeed during the
transition to a climb. At slow airspeeds, retracting the aps too early or abruptly
can result in a signicant loss of lift. The pilot must also factor in ground eect
when initiating a rejected or balked landing close to the ground.
Rejected or Balked Landing Procedure
1. Throttle – full power.
2. Carb heat – o.
3. Accelerate to 60 KIAS (if slower) then;
4. Increase pitch to establish climb at 64 KIAS (V
X
).
5. Retract aps slowly when established at V
X
and clear of obstacles.
6. “After Takeo Checklist” at pattern altitude or out of 1,000' AGL.
