The poster mentioned T&G in the question, but the body was clear he was asking about go-arounds that involved ground contact. It's not a light aircraft thing. I've done balked landings in sim training in jets (RJs). It's a dedicated procedure, separate from the normal go-around routine and affects big airplanes with lots of inertia and laggy power response. I couldn't find any data on balked landings vs missed approaches,so tribal knowledge is all there is to go on. Admittedly the "rare" bit is what I would call informed opinion but that's all there is. | |

Most of what you offer holds true for the light aircraft fleet, apart from intentional touch and gos, but maybe less true for the “jet-liners” in question. In my first and second hand experience, I would suggest automation or guidance issues, unstable approaches, gusty winds, and missed approaches during auto-land to be factors that figure largely in unintentional touch and go landings. | |
