Part 8: Special Situations

Missed Approach (Pilot-Initiated)

If your approach is unstable—too fast, too high, too steep descent rate, or crosswind beyond limits—execute a missed approach. Push throttle forward, pitch up, climb, and announce:
"F-ABCD, going around. Unstable approach."
ATC will acknowledge and re-sequence you. Do not try to salvage an unstable approach. A missed approach is not a failure; it is professional airmanship.
