Which sequence best describes the standard go-around procedure in IMT 1?

When a go-around is initiated, the priority is to safely climb away and rejoin the intended flight path. The best sequence is to push the engine to full power to gain airspeed and climb performance, establish a positive rate of climb so you’re ascending rather than staying level or descending, and then retract the flaps gradually to the appropriate climb configuration (retracting in steps helps maintain stability and reduces drag). If the aircraft is equipped, retract the landing gear as part of this clean-up once you have a positive rate and sufficient climb performance. Finally, once you’re confident in a stable climb, resume the intended flight path—either straight-and-level or the published pattern—so you can re-establish normal operations. The other options describe continuing the approach or descending, which would not achieve a safe, stabilized go-around.
