Being go-around-prepared and go-around-minded are very important, because a go-around does not happen very often. Most important is being prepared to abandon the approach if the weather is below minimums or the approach is not stabilized. The chain of events leading to a go-around can begin at the top of descent, so the following recommendations begin with your preparation for the descent. (1) GENERAL Being go-around-prepared and go-around-minded means the following: ? You know the correct briefings, standard calls, the correct order of actions, task-sharing and cross-checking. ? You should be ready to abandon the approach if the weather is below minimums or the approach is not stabilized. ? If there is any question about the position of the aircraft, you should abandon the approach. ? After the go-around is initiated, the flight crew must fly the published missed approach procedure. (2) OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS Descent Preparation: Preparation for the descent and the approach briefing should be done early to prevent a late or rushed descent. Approach Briefing: To be go-around-prepared, the approach briefing should include a discussion of the main elements of the go-around maneuver and the published missed approach procedure. (3) THE CORRECT AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION The flight crew must stay ahead of the aircraft throughout the flight. Any sign that there is a problem should call for immediate corrective action or the decision to go around. (4) FINAL APPROACH The crew should review the main parts of the go-around maneuver and the missed approach procedure at an appropriate time during final approach. (5) TRANSITIONING BACK TO INSTRUMENT FLYING One of the most frequent reasons for conducting a go-around is weather. If a go-around is initiated, an immediate transition to instrument flying should occur.1. What does go-around-minded in the first paragraph mean?
