Go-Around from Decision Height
š« Scenario Setup
ILS approach to minimums. At DH, runway not in sight. Or approach becomes unstabilized at 500 ft VMC.
š„ Failure Injection
At DH: PM calls 'Minimums, no visual contact' OR 'Minimums, runway not in sight'.
š§ MEMORY ITEMS ā 30 Second Standard
ā These items MUST be performed from memory BEFORE opening the QRH. No reference permitted.
- CALL 'Go Around' + TOGA simultaneously
- PITCH ā 15Ā° positive climb
- GEAR UP at positive rate
- FLAPS ā retract on schedule
- FOLLOW missed approach procedure
- ATC ā notify within 30 seconds
š Required Actions (Sequence)
- PF: 'Go around' call SIMULTANEOUSLY with TOGA thrust application
- PM: confirms 'Go around, TOGA set'
- Pitch: positive climb ā target 15 degrees initially
- PM: 'Positive rate' when confirmed
- PF: 'Gear up'
- PM: selects gear up; monitors
- Flaps: retract on schedule
- Follow missed approach procedure ā FMS or published
- Notify ATC within 30 seconds
ā Evaluation Points
- Go-around called AT or BEFORE DH
- TOGA simultaneous with call
- Positive rate before gear retraction
- Missed approach procedure followed correctly
- ATC notified
ā Common Errors (UNSAT)
- Continued descent below DH before calling go-around
- Delayed thrust advance after call
- Gear retracted before positive climb rate confirmed
- Wrong missed approach procedure executed
š What the Instructor / Examiner Watches For
TIMING STANDARDS
- Landing config: before FAF
- Stabilized by 1,000 ft IMC / 500 ft VMC
- DH/MDA decision: immediate
AUTOMATIC UNSATISFACTORY
- Full scale CDI deflection uncorrected
- Below DH/MDA without visual
- Unstabilized below gate ā no go-around
