During a go-around, what is the pilot likely to do?

During a go-around, the pilot's primary objective is to abort the landing and gain altitude to position the aircraft for another approach to the runway. This procedure is typically executed when the approach is unstable, such as when the aircraft is too high, too low, or not aligned correctly with the runway.

The go-around involves the pilot applying full power to the engines, retracting the landing gear if it has been deployed, and following a specific flight path to safely climb away from the runway. This maneuver allows the pilot to reassess the situation and prepare for another attempt at landing, ensuring both the safety of the aircraft and its passengers.

The other options presented could lead to unsafe or impractical scenarios. For example, simply accelerating and maintaining current altitude does not address the need to clear the runway and attempt a safe landing again. Turning off navigation systems would impair the pilot's ability to navigate and approach the airport effectively, and landing at a different airport is not usually the immediate course of action during a go-around unless there are extreme circumstances that warrant such a decision. Thus, the correct procedure during a go-around is to abort the landing, gain altitude, and prepare for another approach.
