If you want to be an old pilot, go around whenever there is the slightest doubt about your approach or landing. When you start to go around, advance the throttle smoothly to 40" Hg. and 2600 rpm and climb to 500 feet. Because your flaps are down, it takes longer to gain altitude. Here is the general procedure: 1. Flap handle in NEUTRAL 2. Retract landing gear. 3. Fly straight ahead until you reach 500 feet before you make a turn. Don't turn with more than 300 of flaps down unless it is absolutely necessary, and then only with the nose level or down. 4. At 500 feet reduce manifold pressure to 35" Hg- (33" Hg. for Grade 91) and 2500 rpm 5. Don't try to retract the flaps below 500 feet. Here's why: When you put the flap handle in the UP position the flaps rise instantly, thus

causing the airplane to lose altitude before you have enough speed to hold your altitude.   6. The t way to retract flaps without losing altitude is by milking them up. To milk up the flaps, rapidly shift the flap handle between the UP and NEUTRAL positions until the flaps are all the way up. 7. Rejoin the traffic pattern and repeat the landing procedure.
