We rarely do them and when we do they usually don’t go as planned. Your instructors always told you to be ready for one and be spring loaded to perform one. We hear many accidents and incidents of pilots performing one with no success. What are we talking about? The go around. In this episode we will discuss how you can have a successful go around every time you fly.

Cruise Flight:

Our successful and not so successful go-arounds.

What is a successful go-around?

Why go around?

Situations such as air traffic control (ATC) requirements

unexpected appearance of hazards on the runway
overtaking another airplane
wind shear
wake turbulence
mechanical failure
unstable approach

How to make all your go arounds successful.

Decide early
Unstabilized approach
Power and Pitch up.
Don’t point at the ground.
Assure airspeed is going up and altitude is not going down.
Know your airplane. Most planes pitch up but some pitch down when applying power.

Go arounds are a normal maneuver not an emergency.

Why we don’t go around when we should

Mission driven
We feel it will reflect negatively upon us as pilots
Get-there-itis
Pressure from passengers
Plane needs to be back at the FBO soon

“How to be a good Safety Pilot”

What do the FAR/AIM have to say? 14 CFR 91.109
When can an average Private Pilot License not be an Safety Pilot?
What items are worth considering and discussing with the Pilot In Command to ensure a safe/successful flight?
What should the Pilot In Command and Safety Pilot discuss before they fire up the engine?
How does Safety Pilot time get entered into the Safety Pilot’s logbook?
What differences between Safety Pilot and instructor?
What are the “must do” items the Safety Pilot should be doing? What are the extras?
Under what conditions should the Safety Pilot do more than just point out something to the Pilot In Command?
How did BasicMed change the definition of who could be Safety Pilot?
Should the Safety Pilot be willing to pay his pro-rata share for aircraft rental?

The topic is one that is both easy to understand and easy to misunderstand. And sometimes there is lots of misinformation being repeated on the interwebz.

Which is why I think a discussion with your podcast crew would be a good topic.
