What is the recommended airspeed behavior during a go-around?

When a go-around is initiated, you must transition immediately to a climbing, stabilized flight. Apply full power right away and pitch to achieve a positive climb rate, then re-trim to relieve control forces as the aircraft accelerates. Retracting flaps and gear per SOP as you gain airspeed helps reduce drag and supports a quicker, cleaner climb. You’re aiming for a safe, positive climb speed that preserves stall margin while meeting obstacle and traffic clearance; delaying, descending, or holding the approach configuration with reduced power undermines safety and defeats the purpose of go-around. This sequence ensures you promptly clear the approach path and return to a stable climb.
