What is the main goal of a go-around procedure?

The main goal of a go-around procedure is to execute a safe climb-out if landing is unsafe. A go-around is utilized when the pilot determines that the conditions for a safe landing are not met, which may be due to a variety of factors such as poor visibility, unstable approach, or obstacles on the runway. During a go-around, the pilot will typically increase power, retract the landing gear, and lift the nose to initiate a climb away from the runway to regain the necessary altitude and revise their landing approach.

This procedure is critical for ensuring safety, as it allows pilots to avoid potential accidents that could arise from attempting to land under unsuitable conditions. By prioritizing a safe climb-out, pilots can reassess the situation, find a safe place to land, or prepare for another approach, all while avoiding a compromised landing scenario.
