Outline the basic sequence of a go-around.

• A. Apply TOGA, establish and maintain a positive rate, retract flaps gradually, and climb to the desired altitude with proper configuration.
• B. Throttle idle, retract flaps, and descend.
• C. Continue the approach and attempt to land if possible.
• D. Maintain runway alignment and circle the airport.

Answer: (A)

When a go-around is initiated, the priority is to transition quickly from landing configuration to a safe climb with clean aerodynamics. Start by applying TOGA thrust to ensure maximum power and a rapid acceleration into a climb, then establish a positive rate of climb on the altimeter. Retract flaps gradually in stages to avoid losing lift or causing excessive pitch changes, and climb to the desired altitude with the aircraft in proper configuration (including gear up at the appropriate time and flaps fully retracted when safe). This sequence ensures you have enough thrust, a stable climb, and the aircraft configured for safe flight away from the runway.
