How should you execute a go-around in the Warrior PA-28A?

Executing a go-around in the Warrior PA-28A requires a specific set of actions to ensure safety and effectiveness in situations where landing is not ideal. The correct procedure is to apply full power to initiate the climb, which provides the necessary thrust to overcome the drag and start gaining altitude. After applying full power, the focus shifts to pitch for Vy, which is the best rate of climb speed. This speed maximizes the aircraft's climb performance, allowing for a more efficient ascent.

As for retracting the flaps, this is done after establishing the proper climbing speed and is dependent on the current configuration of the aircraft. Flaps may be retracted in stages and should only be done when the aircraft is in a safe climb. Properly managing the flap configuration is crucial for maintaining lift during the go-around. The key principle here is to gain altitude and speed safely, preparing for another approach if necessary.

This sequence is critical for ensuring that the aircraft achieves a safe and effective climb rate, rather than remaining at the current configuration or altitude, which could lead to insufficient power or lift, situational awareness challenges, or potential stall conditions.
