Sometimes a go-around is simply a level off and they fly the missed laterally, and if no climb, no need for the TOGA power. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment! And... Join me at my defense.

But, the tower might have more aircraft information and a crossing issue, that could shift. In my case, they cleared someone on the runway, and that pilot was not departing as rapidly as they thought. We saw them, we went the same time the tower advised. <br />Thanks so much for your comment! And... Join me at my defense.

Blogger has been hiding my comments. I found them. I cannot agree with you more. Wait until you here the results of my research. Amazing discovery and training is a key. <br /><br />Startle factor and those surprise events, nobody is really ever ready...but could they be? I think they could. And, I do believe we could create training for these types of scenarios. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment! And... Join me at my defense.

We still have to press the go-around paddle for several reasons but the main one is that we need to disconnect the autopilot logic from approach mode to go-around mode. Then we immediately press the altitude hold button which freezes everything including and maintains straight and level flight. Then we re-automate the autopilot based on the instructions from atc or what we need to do. <br /><br />Hope that helps and super happy your flying again.<br /><br />robrob akershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119682986212406304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-41513322071550561202018-08-22T08:34:52.404-07:002018-08-22T08:34:52.404-07:00What percentage of each go around category were pi...What percentage of each go around category were pilot-initiated vs. tower-initiated to arounds?

I read your post on automation, and today in my CFI class we were just discussing the inevitable (seems like so)arrival of the artificial intelligence, replacing the pilots. I am going to subscribe to your blog now, I clicked on your facebook link somewhere in the middle left of this page, and the link is "stale", you might need to look at it. Very glad to meet you here. Here is a link to what I do - Hello Brian. I can see that you did put in a great deal of work into writing this post and all the rest of them on your blog. The only way such great posts are possible is because you have the passion, and the dedication. I also noticed that the CFI Training line item in your bucket list is not clickable. I am guessing that's that way cause you already bagged it! :-) Here is a link of what I do - <a href="https://cfiacademy.com/accelerated-cfi" rel="nofollow">CFI Academy</a>.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064687393032584565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-78491486475489066482018-08-17T03:14:05.799-07:002018-08-17T03:14:05.799-07:00Hi Karlene, Thanks for creating awareness around t...Hi Karlene, Thanks for creating awareness around this issue, which I think is very relevant. First of all, I'm not an Airbus pilot, but have been flying ATR 72-600. However the issue is the same regardless of aircraft type. <br />Quite honestly, I think that a lot of pilots choose not to make a Go Around, if they find themselves in a non-normal conditions. Human Factors wise, I think this makes sense. It increases your cognitive workload (what to do in this situation?) at the same time, you are occupied with flying the aircraft ( often manually, as you are in non-normal condition) all this with a certain time pressure. <br />When I was trained on the ATR in the simulator, I very quickly learned "the way it goes" Engine failure at V1, engine failure at minima and so on. It sort of became a part of my pilot DNA, I knew exactly what would happen when in the simulator. On my last OPC in the simulator, the instructor gave me an engine failure at a non-normal time. It took 3 call outs from the first officer, and 2 whole minuts before I secured the engine. All because this came at a non - normal time....<br />When I teach CRM I very often ask the pilots how many Go Arounds they have made in their career. And usually its only a few times. I think, that we as pilots can have a tendency to be target fixated during an approach. Sort of "forgetting" to create the mental picture of "what if?"<br />The training in Europe is in small steeps making a shift. Recently I talked to a crew, who had been in the simulator, training only unexpected events. All based on non-normal events. They expressed, that it was actually nice to try out, and helping them in creating the mental pictures of f.x A Go Around from above MSA.<br />So in my opinion, I think that we need to rethink the training of pilots, to all these unexpected events. These non-normale events, happens more frequently in real life, than the engine failure at V1. We are of course not able to train all scenarioes, but as a part of the Threat and Error Management, we might be able to make it more relevant, for that specific situation that might occur.
