Missed Approach
A missed approach is a maneuver conducted by a pilot when an instrument
approach cannot be completed to a landing. The pilot’s initial actions when
initiating a missed approach are the same as a go-around procedure.
Go-Around / Missed Approach Procedure
1. Increase throttle to full power
2. Retract flaps to 20° (if > 20°) while simultaneously
3. Increase pitch to establish climb
4. Retract flaps to 10° when airspeed is greater than 60 KIAS
5. Establish V X or V Y as appropriate
6. Retract flaps to 0˚ at 65 KIAS and clear of obstacles
7. “After Takeoff Checklist” out of 1,000’ AGL if departing the traffic pattern
If the go-around or missed approach is due to conflicting traffic, maneuver as
necessary during the climb to clear and avoid conflicting traffic (usually to the
side, flying parallel to the runway).
When airspeed > 60 KIAS.
• Retract flaps to 10˚
1,000' AGL
"After Takeoff Checklist"
if departing traffic pattern
Decision to Go Around
• Increase throttle to full power.
• Retract flaps to 20˚ (if > 20˚) while
simultaneously; Increase pitch to
establish climb.
Establish V X or V Y
When clear obstacles and 65 KIAS
• Retract flaps to 0˚
CAUTION: Retracting flaps from 30° directly to 0° will cause the
aircraft to sink and may result in ground contact! Failing to retract
flaps from 30° to 20° may prevent the aircraft from reaching a
safe climb airspeed!
