  further mitigate this risk the pilot has selected mental checkpoints along the approach path that will serve as go/no-go points should the pilot feel any assessed parameter is being exceeded. Wind direction and velocity are assessed as a medium risk ... because (for this scenario) the direction of the wind is slightly offset from the chosen approach path, creating a 15–20° crosswind with a steady 10-knot wind. The pilot also takes into consideration that, due to the terrain…

  Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Go-Around

  Around A go-around is a procedure for remaining airborne after an intended landing is discontinued. A go-around may be necessary when: • Instructed by the control tower. • Traffic conflict occurs. • The helicopter is in a position from which ... safe to continue the approach. Any time an approach is uncomfortable, incorrect, or potentially dangerous, abandon the approach. The decision to make a go-around should be positive and initiated before a critical situation develops. When the decision is made…

  Student Pilot Solo Requirements Once a student has accrued sufficient training and experience, a CFI can endorse the student’s logbook to authorize limited solo flight in a specific type (make and model) of aircraft. A student pilot ... aircraft outside of the various endorsements provided by the flight instructor.
