UNIT 2. FUEL
Approach Altitude will requ ire careful and thoughtful handling of power, acce l­eration and clean up to avoid an altitude bust.
Go-Around from above Decision Altitude
In training, most Go-Arounds are commenced at or near Decision Altitude. A G/A flown due to bad wx has usually been anticipated & briefed. It is the G/A flown in ‘good’ wx (perhaps due to ATC) or the G/A is comme nced from a point other than DA, which usually presents the greatest problems. Pilots should be mentally prepared to be told to Go-Around from any point on the Approach, even from above the Go-Around Altitude. Practice in flying a Go-Around is normally included in routine refresher training and analysis of Flight Data Moni­toring data indicates a need for practice in flying Go -Arounds flown from above DA/H as well as the more commonly practiced Go-Around from DA/H.
Transition to Instrument Flying
If the Go-Around is conducted because of weather conditions, t he transi­tion to instruments will require particular attention. The Go-Around procedure may be further complicated if airspeed and/or thrust setting are low. See the sep­arate article "Go-Around - Transition to Instrument Flying". Many airlines use a procedure (particularly in poor weathe r conditions) where the non-landing pi lot will fly the approach down to Decision Altitude with the specific intention of go­ing around at Decision Altitude unless they have a clear call of the decision to continue the approach and take control from the Landing Pilot. This can make both acquisition of the required visual reference easier and obviate the necessity of the pilot flying the Go -Around fro m making th e trans ition from inst rument s to visual and then back to instruments if a Go-Around is flown.
All Engines Go-around
Many modern aircraft have an automatic facility whereby the aircraft au­tomatic systems accomplish the transition from app roach to Go-Around by pow­er and attitude adjustment. However, not all aircraft have this facility; moreover, there is a need for pilots of aircraft which do have automatic Go-Around capabil­ity to maintain proficiency in this procedure in case manually reversion should be necessary.
An All Engines Go Around will typically be executed when the aircraft is relatively light, at least below Maximum Landing Weight, and so when Go Around thrust is applied performance may well be brisk - if you are not careful, not only will you climb with a very high v/s, you will accelerate rapidl y through all the flap limiting speeds. One major manufacturer limits the rate of climb to

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
2,000 feet per minute because of this (Even so, this assumes that pitch & speed are correct; if pitch is low, thrust will increase up to full GA thrust and the a/c will rapidly accelerate, but a ROC of 2000fpm will not be achieved.). Aircraft SOPs must take precedence but it is worth reme mbering that the aircraft will be much more manageable when reducing to Climb Thrust (but will still accelerate faster than on a normal take-off due to reduced weight). Furthermore, careful consideration needs to be given to how this can be handled as, if Go Around Thrust (TOGA) is never selected, the FMS Flight Plan and electronic checklist (ECL) may not sequence as expected or correctly.
PF must be ready for any pitch up effect that is much mo re mark ed with all engines operating than on the Engine Out Go-Arounds practised in the simu­lator. FBW a/c may automatically t rim out any pitch/power couple, so it is nec­essary for the PF to make a positive rotation manoeuvre (pull-up) to place the a/c in the correct G/A attitude. In all cases, pilots should recognise (and resist) the pitch-up illusion created by rapid acceleration.
The most important element of handling a Manual Go-Around is selecting the correct power and pitch attitude to enable the Go-Around to be flown at the correct speed. Knowing the appropriate figures will help in flying an accurate profile. Because of the high power settings invo lved in a Go-Around it is inte r­esting to see how often when the speed starts to run away how many pilots, at this time of very high workload, intuitively try to control the speed by reducing power rather than with pitch attitud e . This often reduces power to a level that can seriously degrade climb performance causing potential Obstacle Clearance prob­lems.
Go-Around from Non-standard Speed or Configuration
The regulator mandates that crews demonstrate, in the simulator, compe­tence at go–round from Decision Minima, when the aircraft is close to Vref an d has drag flap deployed. This is fine but in real life many go -rounds are flown much earlier in the approach, prior to full flap selection and potentially close to flap limit speed to maintain separation from the following aircraft. These are rarely practiced in the sim – there is barely enough time to do the mandated items, never mind gain some handling experience - and invariably they lead to speed limits being exceeded or level busts. Crews should give some thought to how they would manage a Go-Around at all stages of an app roach, including the following:
42
UNIT 2. FUEL
It may be appropriate to consider continuing down the approach path , if legally permitted, for a few moments whilst the handling of the Go-Around and the configuration is discussed before being actioned. Going around from above the missed approach altitude may require the pilot to level off and maintain their curren t altitude or a modified altitude as instructed by ATC. In congested airspace the missed approach altitude, track and speed is usually mandated. This can be a complicated affair if the Go-Around instruction or deci­sion is made above the mandated missed approach altitude.
To ensure correct sequencing and compliance with the Go-Around proce­dure in FMS equipped aircraft it is often advisable (if conditions allow) to co n­tinue on the approach until the aircraft descends below the missed approach alti­tude before selecting TOGA.
Relying on LNAV for the lateral pa rt of the Go -round gu idance can create a significant problem if the FMS flight plan legs have not sequenced correctly prior to initiating the G/A, then the lateral path of the G/A is likely to flown i n­correctly. Task Sharing
Regarding task-sharing during a a manual go-around, the FSF ALAR Briefing Note 6.2 "Manual Go-Around" recommends that:
"The pilot flying (PF) is responsible for controlling vertical navigation and lateral navigation, and for energy management, by ... Flying manually, with flight director (FD) guidance and an adapted (e.g., horizontal situation indicator (HSI) - type) navigation display (ND) mode.
"If manual thrust is selected, the pilot monitoring (PM) should monitor closely the airspeed, airspeed trend and thrust, and call any ex cessive deviation (e.g., airspeed decreasing below VREF).
"The PNF is responsible for monitoring tasks and for conducting actions requested by the PF, including: Conducting the standard PM tasks; Monitoring the thrust setting; Monitoring vertical speed and radio-altimeter altitude; and, Monitoring pitch attitude, bank angle, airspeed and airspeed trend, and calling out any excessive deviation."
The briefing note then provides a thorough explanation of the flight dy­namics of a go-around, which is important for understanding the interaction be­tween changes to engine power and flight control settings.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
If a Go-Around is flown using F/D crews should be aware of exactly what is being commanded in roll and pitch. For example some F/D will command a heading that maintains aircraft track as at the moment Go Around was initiat ed (which, particularly if correcting localiser deviation at the time, may be very dif­ferent from the required track during the Go Around manoeuvre). Adherence to SOPs will help ensure that appropriate modes are selected to command appropri­ate track and vertical profiles. Particularly after a Non Precision Approach in poor weather, the landing pilot can experience very high workload in tryi ng to manoeuvre the aircraft for landing. The PM plays a vital role in monitoring this phase of the approach and calling for a Go-Around if stabilised approach criteria are not met or if unhappy with the manoeuvre. A good briefing can be very help­ful in setting expectations/ bott om lines to inform these decisions.
There is often strong emphasis on flying a go-roun d manually. Nonethe­less, the maximum use of the autopilot will reduce pilot workload, aid monitor­ing capacity and go a long way to ensuring a successful outcome to any Go ­Around.
Flying a Manual Go-Around
This is a very demanding manoeuvre and in real life is often accompanied by extra stress due to the bad weather or traffic problems that caused it. Crews should take any opportunity in the simulator to practice it with all engines oper­ating as well as mandated engine-failed training.
"For a safe go-around," the FSF briefing note continues, "the following “three Ps” constitute a golden rule: Pitch: set and maintain the pitch-attitude target Power: set and check the go-around thrust; and, Performance: check aircraft performance: positive rate of climb, airspeed at or above Vref (reference landing speed), speed brakes retracted, radio-altimeter in­dications and barometric-altimeter indications increasing, wings level, gear up, flaps as required.
Safety Culture
Go-rounds should never be met with any kind of negative feedback. Previ­ous accidents have revealed pilots being reluctant to Go-round because they had been criticised for doing so earlier. In a large fleet, there will always be some p i­lots who have done more Go-rounds than others, as explained by the ‘Law of
Large Numbers’ (which shows that some lottery numbers occur more than 4
times as often as others and, when plotted, fit under a normal distribution curve.

The Lower Cargo Compartment Detection System is designed to detect and pro­vide aural and visual annunciation to the flight crew of a smoke and / or fire condition in either the Forward or Aft Cargo Compartment. The system is a dual loop, triple redundant design comprised of:
x one Control Panel;
45
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
x one Detector Fault Panel; x ten Smoke Detectors.
Control Panel
The control panel is instal led on the P8 center aisle stand in the cockpit, just aft of the existing Engine and APU Fire Control Module. The control panel is divid­ed into two sections for the Forward and Aft Cargo Compartments. Each cargo compartment section is divided into 2 loops (A and B).
Smoke Detectors
The Forward Cargo Compartment is equipped with four detectors, operating in 2 loops (A and B). The Aft Cargo Compartment is equipped with six detectors, opertating in 2 loops (A and B).
Detector Fault Panel
The Detector Fault Panel is located in the E & E Compartment, on the E1-3 shelf. It contains a test switch and an LED fault indicator fo r each smoke detec­tor.
Aural Warn Devices Box
The Aural Warn Devices Box contains the Fire Warning Bell.
Smoke Detectors
The smoke detectors are self contained, microprocessor controlled, continuously monitored, ambient type detectors. They require no forced airflow over the sens­ing element. The Forward Cargo Compartment is equipped with four detectors,
46
UNIT 3. FIRE PROTECTION. ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION
operating in 2 loops. The four detectors are installed in two enclosures. Each en­closure contains an A loop and B loop detector. Each detector operates independently of the others and provides the control panel with signals for smoke condition and fault status. In addition, because each de­tector is independent of the others, they can be replaced individually. Each en­closure assembly features guard bars to protect the detectors from cargo and baggage.
Cargo Smoke Detection System Operation
In normal operating mode, the Smoke Detection System is completely transpar­ent to the flight crew. The control panel is divided into two sections for the For­ward and Aft Cargo Compartments. Each cargo compartment section is moni­tored independently of each other, and is divided into 2 loops (A and B). An advisory is initiated if one or more detectors of one loop in the same cargo compartment (forward or aft) sends an alert signal to the control panel. As long as an advisory con dition exists, all visual annun ciations on the control panel will remain illuminated. When advisory condition is no longer present, all
47
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
annunciations will extinguish, and the system will automatically reset itself to normal mode of operation. A warning is initiated if any two detectors, one from each loop of the same cargo compartment, sends an alert signal to the control panel. A warning condition will result in the following:
_ The DET LEDs representing the alarming detect or loop(s) will illumi-
nate on the control panel.
_ The red FIRE light on the control panel will illuminate. _ The Master Caution lights will illuminate. _ The OVHT/DET Six Pack annunciator will illuminate. _ The Fire Warn lights will illuminate on the glareshield. _ The aural fire warning bell will sound.
Lower Cargo Fire Suppression System
The Cargo Compartment Fire Suppression System features Halon 1301. Its sup­pression ability is based on the theory of breaking the chain of reaction for a fire, by preventing the fuel source(s) and oxygen from combining in the presence of heat. The system operates in conjunction with the Cargo Compartment Smoke Dete c­tion System. The system is capable of suppressing a fire in either the Forward or Aft Cargo Compartment for at least 60 minutes from initial activation.
NOTE: Although in some instances it may extinguish a fire, it is im-
portant to note the system design is only intended to suppress the spread of fire long enough to allow the aircraft to safely land and evacuate.
