Which mode is used to initiate a go-around?

• A. Go-Around
• B. Takeoff
• C. Approach
• D. Back Course

Answer: (A)

Initiating a go-around uses a dedicated flight-control mode that commands an immediate climb and the missed-approach path. This Go-Around mode engages the autopilot and flight director to apply go-around thrust (typically TO/GA) and to pitch to the required attitude so the aircraft stops descending and starts climbing toward the missed-approach altitude. The other options aren’t used to start this maneuver: Takeoff mode is for the initial climb after takeoff, Approach mode guides you toward landing, and Back Course is a type of approach rather than a procedure to climb away. So the Go-Around mode is the appropriate choice.
