When a plane is landing...?

Question

Ok, when the plane is landing and for some reason the pilot has to do that manouver to get speed and fly again, what's the name of that term?

Preferebly the aviation term...

it's for a translation.

Answer 1

In the service, we called it a "touch and go"

Answer 2

The aviation definition “Go Around” is found in the following FAA manual.

Aeronautical Information Manual

GO AROUND- Instructions for a pilot to abandon his/her approach to landing. Additional instructions may follow. Unless otherwise advised by ATC, a VFR aircraft or an aircraft conducting visual approach should overfly the runway while climbing to traffic pattern altitude and enter the traffic pattern via the crosswind leg. A pilot on an IFR flight plan making an instrument approach should execute the published missed approach procedure or proceed as instructed by ATC; e.g., "Go around" (additional instructions if required).

ATC INSTRUCTIONS- Directives issued by air traffic control for the purpose of requiring a pilot to take specific actions; e.g., "Turn left heading two five zero," "Go around," "Clear the runway."

Also reference FAA-H-8083-3 Airplane Flying Handbook.  These two manual are available for FREE at http://www.faa.gov

Even pilots can be wrong and sometimes are.

Answer 3

I believe what you are describing is named a "touch n' go".  A maneuver performed to practice landings and take-offs, without the pilot returning to a full-stop between.

Answer 4

I am sure the answers above mine answer your question.

A bit more info from a branch of our military.

When a Navy pilot landing on an aircraft carrier hits the deck and misses the arresting cables, it is called a bolter.

If the pilot is unable to land on the deck, the call to the pilot is called "wave off".  I believe this term goes back to the days when the LSO (Landing Signal Officer) directed the airplanes onto the deck with use of paddles.

Answer 5

go around or touch and go

Answer 6

Go around or missed approach

Answer 7

miss words? think so

Answer 8

i vote go around or missed approach. But I give a lot of credence to Max Cruise's answer in regards to naval aviation on aircraft carriers.

Answer 9

"missed approach"

Answer 10

It's called a 'Go Around', and the pilot never stops flying the plane..

Answer 11

it could be considered a baulked landing .
