Go-around,

Close but not quite. JAA IR test profile:

Departure
Airways join (either from SID or from outside controlled airspace)
Airways sector
Arrival at airfield 1
Hold followed by an instrument approach at airfield 1 to minima
Go-around with simulated engine failure at most critical point after initial clean up.
General Handling on instruments - stalls, steep turns, unusual attitudes, partial panel work.
Recovery to airfield 2 (usually the CAAFU unit base)
Assymetric instrument approach at airfield 2 to minima
Assymetric go-around to circling minima
Visual circle to land

One approach must be non-precision, one must be precision. Usually they are an NDB and an ILS. At least one hold must be performed. Only one approach can be radar vectored.

cheers!
foggy.
