What is the procedure for a rejected landing?

• A. Abort the approach and immediately divert.
• B. Continue to touchdown and brake hard.
• C. Land as soon as possible even if unsafe.
• D. Initiate a go-around with thrust, maintain directional control, ensure safe climb, and execute the next approach per plan.

Answer: (D)

When a landing is rejected, the priority is to execute a go-around and climb away safely. Begin by applying full thrust to ensure enough energy for a positive climb, and maintain directional control to keep the aircraft on the intended flight path and off the runway. Once a positive rate of climb is established and the airplane is safely climbing, configure the aircraft for the climb and proceed with the next approach per plan. This sequence protects against an overrun or loss of control, gives you space to reassess weather, traffic, and landing conditions, and keeps the operation within safe limits.
