Yup, every aircraft manual I’ve seen is ‘bout the same. The idea of a go-around is to get it climbing (best way to do that is to add power and clean it up).

Not being the brightest star in the sky I came up with a mnemonic, to help me remember the procedure. PAFLAF (works with BE-1900, EMB-120, B-737, DC-10)

exempli gratia
P- Power (max - duh)
A- Airspeed (generally an additive to a ref speed, i.e. Vref + 15)
F- Flaps (retracted to your max allowable t/o position)
L- Landing gear (up on positive rate call)
A- Airspeed (increases due to configuration changes mentioned)
F- Flaps (again, this time retracted on climb-out schedule or all the way)

Yup, Fresca, On the 73 it be flap 15, max t/o or if OEI, it be flap 1.

Do there be some issues with 411A, M.Mouse?

[edited, 'cause JT brought up some good points, as usual]
