Go Around Philosophy
The decision to execute a go-around is both prudent and encouraged anytime
the outcome of an approach or landing becomes uncertain. ATP considers the
use of a go-around under such conditions as an indication of good judgement
and cockpit discipline on the part of the pilot.
Instructors should vigilantly monitor student approaches
and landings, and should command go-arounds if any of
the stabilized approach conditions are not met. Instructors
should make every effort to avoid allowing a student to take
an unstabilized approach close to the ground, requiring the
instructor to take the controls and salvage the landing.
Managing Energy
Managing energy means the pilot controls the airplane’s glidepath, speed, and
power setting so that altitude and airspeed are depleted simultaneously on the
intended touchdown point.
Gust Factor
Slightly higher approach speeds should be used under turbulent or gusty wind
conditions. Add ½ the gust factor to the normal approach speed. For example, if
the wind is reported 8 gusting to 18 knots, the gust factor is 10 knots. Add ½ the
gust factor, 5 knots in this example, to the normal approach speed.
Seat Position
Correctly positioning the seat exactly the same for each flight improves landing
performance and safety.
The fore-aft adjustment is correct when the heels are on the floor with the balls
of the feet on the rudder pedals, not on the brakes. The feet should be at a 45°
angle from the floor to the pedals and the pilot should be able apply full rudder
inputs without shifting their body weight. When braking is required, lift the foot
from the floor rather than keeping the leg suspended in the air or resting the
feet on the upper portion of the pedals.
TIP: Proper foot position helps prevent inadvertent brake
application during landings and ground operations.
