And not knowing what you fly VONKLUFFEN but a take-off on my current type may be 180 tonnes heavier than a go around at max landing weight; The performance differences exacerbated by generally taking off with reduced thrust and going around with full attainable thrust! Makes the machine a TOTALLY different beast!
The Go Around also may come at the end of a tiring ULR 15 hour sector. Just another wee difference...
Hi White:
Yep performance is different. Don't take it literally.
When I say normal I'm thinking as part of something when we go from A-B. Takeoff, climb,descent,app and GA. And that's what happens, GA is never briefed properly assuming it won't happen. It can and eventually will.
The rest should be easy...if no rush is present. If it is , that IS the beast you are taking about...
