When conducting a go-around, the pilot must be aware that
radio communications are key to alerting other aircraft in the pattern that a go- around maneuver is being conducted.
the airplane is trimmed for a power-off condition, and application of takeoff power will cause the nose to rise rapidly.✓ Correct Answer
flaps should be raised as quickly as possible to reduce drag and increase airspeed for a successful go-around.
Explanation
The Airplane Flying Handbook warns that on a go-around the airplane is trimmed for the low-power approach, so adding takeoff power makes the nose rise sharply and forward pressure and retrimming are needed. Flaps should be retracted in increments, not all at once, to avoid sinking, and while announcing the go-around is good practice, controlling the airplane comes first.
