If a go around is initiated in the landing phase, what power setting should be used?

When a go-around is initiated during the landing phase, the appropriate power setting is to move the Power Control Lever (PCL) to the MAX position. This is crucial as the go-around requires immediate and maximum power to gain altitude and ensure a safe climb away from the runway.

Using MAX PCL provides the necessary thrust to overcome drag and weight, enabling the aircraft to climb effectively while transitioning from a landing configuration to a climb configuration. This setting allows for a rapid response, crucial in situations where you must safely abort a landing due to obstacles, runway conditions, or other factors that could compromise safety.

Other power settings would not provide the needed thrust to accomplish a successful go-around safely. For instance, idle would not generate enough thrust, while climb and approach PCL settings may not provide the full power necessary for a rapid ascent needed in a go-around scenario. Therefore, setting the PCL to MAX is essential for effective go-around performance.
