Most air transport pilots lack adequate training in how to perform the most common go-arounds — those with both engines operating in the high-pressure environment of a missed approach, according to a study by the French Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses (BEA).
Although a go-around is considered a normal procedure, it nevertheless is challenging because of its “rarity … and complexity in terms of workload,†said the study, begun after fatal accidents in 2009 and 2010 that were associated with “aeroplane state awareness during go-around (ASAGA),†which the agency characterized as “loss of control of the flight path during or at the end of a go-around maneuver.â€1
The Study on Aeroplane State Awareness During Go-Around added, “A go-around does not often occur during operations … and is one of the manoeuvres … poorly represented by simulators, in particular due to the absence of a realistic ATC [air traffic control] environment.â€
