Im just happy that for the purposes of a Go Around, we don't have to give a hoot about what the aim says. Our approved manual gives us all the guidance we need and simplifies it, i think.

It's lifelong because whatever xyz media outlet posted it needs to entice you to click on their article and/or watch their programming so they can get paid.

Are you really asking this?
”Go around.”
”Go around, flaps.”
“Positive rate.”
”Gear up.”
”Tower, Spirit 123 going around.”
”Spirit 123 fly heading XXX climb and maintain YYYY contact departure.”
”See ya soon.”
All that before you cross the opposite threshold. You’re not flying an SR71. This stuff happens slooooooow.

I’ve FAR more seemingly surprised controllers give me incomplete go around instructions in circumstances like this than any other phase of flight.

“WHO’S PUSHING???”
”Spirit.”
”WHO TOLD TOU YOU CAN PUSH???”
”You said “our discretion...””
”YOU STILL HAVE TO CALL FOR PUSH!”
And then there’s “Climb via the SID except maintain 4000”
And my personal favorite is the gal working clearance who reads full route clearances in her best Air Force high speed low drag voice. She’ll repeat herself three times without slowing down, as we keep asking her to “say again, you’re going too fast...”
Yeah. Not surprised you didn’t get an altitude on your go around...
