What is the recommended action after the go-around procedure begins?

After initiating a go-around, the recommended action is to set the flaps to the takeoff (T/O) position. This is an important step because during a go-around, the aircraft must build speed and climb away from the landing approach. Retracting the flaps to the T/O position helps ensure that the aircraft maintains a proper climb rate and gains altitude more efficiently. It also prepares the aircraft for a stable climb, as full flaps are generally used during landing for increased lift and slower speeds. Transitioning to the T/O position reduces drag and enhances the performance of the aircraft during the climb phase, leading to a more effective and safer go-around.

Other actions in a go-around procedure, such as adjusting throttle and airspeed, are also important, but setting the flaps to the T/O position is a distinct and critical step that directly influences the aircraft's performance immediately after the go-around begins.
