What is the correct sequence for performing a missed approach in ATR operations?

• A. Maintain altitude and continue approach.
• B. Apply go-around, set thrust, retract flaps as configured, climb to safe altitude, and contact ATC.
• C. Descend for landing at the same airport.
• D. Inform passengers and wait for ATC instructions.

Answer: (B)

When a missed approach is needed, the aircraft should execute a go-around immediately: push the thrust to climb power, begin the climb, and then retract flaps to the setting specified for the missed approach. As you establish a positive climb, continue to ascend to a safe altitude and contact ATC to coordinate the next steps. This sequence—go around, set climb thrust, retract flaps as configured, climb to a safe altitude, and contact ATC—ensures obstacle clearance and proper airspace coordination. Continuing the approach or descending would not provide the required safety margin, and simply informing passengers without taking control actions is not appropriate during the maneuver.
