Go Round Methodologies
Seeking thoughts/information/policy suggestions on Go Round techniques applicable to twin jet transport category aircraft(F100, 717, 727, 737, 757, A320etc)
Discussions with colleagues yielding varying thoughts on conduct of go round when:
1. Visual conditions(cloud ceiling approx 1500agl) - by day or night - (possibly off bottom of Circling approach)
2. Vehicle/aircraft enters active runway, whilst our aircraft on approx 3 mile final.
3.Aircraft in landing configuration with full flap.
Should we..?
A: Carry out standard missed approach/go round procedure - push TOGA buttons, pitch to FD guidance, Flap to appropriate GA setting, clean up on schedule and climb up to pattern alt/MSA for another Instrument/Visual approach.
B: Apply power to stop descent/climb a little, leave flap and gear, then turn as required to reposition aircraft on final via orbit/small circuit, leaving speed at VAPP etc
Various companies have rigid SOPs or flexible guidance on this. I have my thoughts, but would like to see some additional ideas.
Any contributions appreciated..
