You're on approach, everything is going well. But are you ready for a go-around?

In this video, the apprentice pilot does a go-around after a landing that was a little too rough for her liking. Fortunately, the outcome is only crumpled sheet metal and a complete engine overhaul (ouch $$$). The pilot escaped with minor injuries.

In your opinion, what mistake(s) were made?

We invite you to consult a short capsule which, we hope, will help you answer this question and refresh your memory on the procedure to follow.

The go-around. Easy! Really?

Closer to home, a similar accident happened in Quebec City in 2023. To learn more, see the TSB report.
