In case of go-around, the initial altitude loss and the time required for recovering the initial altitude are increased if airspeed is lower than the final approach speed and/or if thrust is not stabilized or set at idle.

Summary of Key Points
A deceleration below the final approach speed should be accepted only in the following cases:
.  
GPWS terrain avoidance maneuver;

.  
Collision avoidance maneuver; and,

.  
Windshear procedure.

Nevertheless, in all three cases, the thrust levers must be advanced to the maximum thrust (i.e., go-around thrust) while initiating the maneuver.

Introduction
Factors that may contribute to approach-and-landing accidents include flight over hilly terrain, reduced visibility, visual illusions, adverse winds, contaminated runways and/or limited approach aids.
Flight crews should be aware of the compounding nature of these hazards during approach and landing.
Statistical data
Approach-and-landing is the most hazardous phase of any flight, as illustrated by the following data:
.  
Over the past 40 years, approach-and-landing accidents accounted for 55 % of total hull losses.

This statistic does not show a downward trend.

.  
The flight segment from the outer marker to the runway threshold averages only 4 % of flight time, but accounts for 45 % of hull losses.

Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 illustrate the respective contributions of the factors involved in:

.  
All approach-and-landing accidents;

.  
CFIT events; and,

.  
Runway excursions and overruns.
