You aregoing need an immediate burst ofpower to arrest your descent and thenclimb out in order to re-enter the trafficpattern.2. Gear Up: Retract your landing gearby pressing the Landing Gear (GKey).

Nurse the aircraft back intothe sky. An abrupt pitch change will killyour forward airspeed and cause astall.4. Wings Level: Keep your wingslevel. Perform a straight forward climbout. Do not bank your wings or you willkill off any excess Lift being produced.The object of these missed approachprocedures is to reconfigure your aircraftfor normal flight as quickly as possible.We recommend that you climb out to aminimum of 1500 ft. and then rejoin thetraffic pattern at a 45 0 angle to thecrosswind leg.
