Flight Operations Briefing Note
Descent Management
Being Prepared for Go-Around
I Introduction Failure to recognize the need for and to execute a go-around and missed-approach when appropriate is a major cause of approach-and-landing accidents.
Therefore, the importance of being go-around-prepared and being go-around-minded must be emphasized.
To be go-around-prepared and go-around-minded the flight crew should:

. Have a clear mental image of applicable briefings, sequences of actions, task-sharing, standard calls and excessive-deviation callouts

. Be ready to abandon the approach, if:

. Visibility (RVR) is below the required weather minimums, and/or

. Criteria for a stabilized approach are not (or no longer) achieved, and/or

. Doubt exists about the aircraft position, and/or

. Confusion exists about the use of automation, and/or

. Appropriate visual references are not obtained at MDA(MDH) or DA(DH), and/or

. Appropriate visual references are lost below MDA(MDH) or DA(DH).

. Be fully committed to fly the published missed-approach procedure, after the go-around is initiated.

Operators should therefore establish and maintain a no-fault / no-blame go-around policy. This Flight Operations Briefing Note provides an overview of operational recommendations starting from the descent preparation and approach briefing, and of training recommendations.

II Operational Recommendations Task Sharing
Strict adherence to the PF-PNF task-sharing is the most important factor to conduct  a safe go-around.
The following Flight Operations Briefing Notes provide expanded information on PF-PNF task sharing:

. Operating Philosophy 

. Operations Golden Rules

. Standard Calls

. Flying a Manual Go-around

. Acquisition of Visual References

Descent Preparation The chain of events resulting in a go-around often starts at the top-of-descent.
