Missed Approach Explained - [All you need to know to perform the perfect Go Around] Sim Example!
The Missed Approach is a normal procedure used to discontinue the Approach, climb to a safe altitude and reposition for another approach or start the Diversion.
The Go Around is executed due to the following reasons (these reasons might change a bit depending on the operator):
- If you have not established the required visual reference upon reaching the Minimum Descend Altitude or the Decision Altitude,
- If you are not fully stable during the last part of your final,
- In case you experience a major System Failure on the final,
- If the Air Trafic Controller instructs you to do so,
- If the Captain decides so,
- If the RAAS indicates that you are not at the right Landing Configuration on the short Final.
This is a generic list that gives you a strong Idea of the reasons why you execute a go-around. This list might change depending on the Aircraft and the Operator.
Besides the reasons indicated above, you have to use common sense and apply good judgment when electing to execute a Missed Approach.
Every situation is different, however, if you are not sure whether to perform a Go Around or not, my suggestion is DO IT.
The Go Around Maneouvre changes from one Aircraft to another, however, remember to pitch up, add thrust and when you are clear of obstacles clean up the Aircraft.
Always remember the Missed Approach Altitude!! Some Airports have low Missed Approach Altitude, so if you don't level off quickly you might perform a level bust.
My advice is, before starting the Go Around make sure you know your Missed Approach Altitude.
You can find the route you have to follow in case of a Go Around in the Missed Approach paragraph of the Approach Chart.
Sometimes the Air Traffic Controller might instruct you to follow a different Missed Approach Route.
When an Airport has close-in obstacles you might have higher Visibility/RVR minima for the Approach, in this way, if you don't see the runway you will start the Missed Approach earlier from a higher DA.
The Missed Approach has a Gradient that can vary depending on the Airport characteristics, the higher the gradient the steeper the Go Around.
The standard MA gradient is 2.5%.
