What is the process for handling go-arounds at a congested airport in the Longitude 700?

• A. Initiate go-around and request vectors
• B. Continue circling and attempt another approach without notifying ATC
• C. Initiate safe climb, follow missed approach procedure, inform ATC, reconfigure for re-entry and re-landing
• D. Delay the decision until the runway is clear

Answer: (C)

In a congested airport go-around, the priority is a safe, coordinated response. Start a safe climb immediately to establish obstacle clearance and clear of the approach path. Then follow the published missed approach procedure to a suitable point and altitude, ensuring you’re on the correct course and configuration. Notify ATC right away to inform them you’re going around and to secure sequencing with other traffic. Finally, reconfigure the aircraft for the re-entry and a fresh landing attempt, adjusting speed, flap/landing gear, and approach setup as needed to re-enter the approach cleanly and safely. This sequence keeps traffic separated, follows standardized paths, and positions you for a safe second approach.

Continuing to circle without ATC coordination, or delaying the decision until the runway is visible, increases risk and disrupts traffic flow.
