What is one common error pilots make during a go-around in IMT 1?

• A. Immediately applying maximum power and climbing smoothly
• B. Stalling or delaying full power application, or over-controlling during rotation
• C. Keep wings level and reduce power
• D. Stop rotation and descend

Answer: (B)

A go-around demands a quick, coordinated transition to a positive climb, with full power applied promptly and a smooth pitch to establish airspeed and rate of climb. Delaying power or stalling during rotation, and over-controlling the controls as you raise the nose, are the most common mistakes because they undermine airspeed and stability right when you need them most. Delaying or stalling can lead to a loss of climb performance or even a stall, while over-controlling can cause pitch oscillations and an unstable climb attitude. The described error—stalling or delaying full power, or over-controlling during rotation—best captures the typical pitfall during a go-around. The other options describe actions that would either be correct technique (applying full power and climbing promptly) or are not appropriate for a go-around (reducing power or descending).
