Go around SOP?
-
Does anyone know the real-life go-around procedure for the 146?
I keep the TMS in sync mode during approach and set the go around altitude. However, I never actually had to go around so that's why I'm asking.
Secondly, to do a visual circuit around the airport, what should be the minimum altitude during the various phases? Also the flaps and max speed settings.

Found this (Mahan Air SOP for BAe146/Avro RJ)
The following procedure is recommended to carry out a missed approach and go‐around from either a visual or instrument approach. The same procedure can be followed for a rejected landing at any stage prior to touchdown.
1‐ Confirm /select TMS to DISC.
2 ‐ Advance thrust levers to N1 GA. Take care in high ambient temperatures as it is easy to exceed N1 GA in these conditions.
3 ‐ Smoothly rotate the aircraft nose up to an initial 10 deg. pitch attitude, whilst selecting FD to GA if required.
4 ‐ Call for flap 24(18) deg. The PNF should select flap 24/18 (at min VREF + 5).
5 ‐ Select airbrake IN. (If the airbrake has to be selected in during a go‐around it is recommended that the selection always be made by the pilot in the left hand seat).
6 ‐ When a positive climb is established, call “GEAR UP”. The PNF selects the gear up.
7 ‐ Climb away through missed approach acceleration altitude at a minimum speed of VREF 33 +5 kts. (VREF 33 +5 kts is close to V2
for 24 deg. Flap).
8 ‐ Call “SELECT HDG”.
9 ‐ At acceleration altitude, and at minimum speed of VREF +20 kts, select 18 deg flap, reduce the pitch attitude slightly and accelerate in climb to VFTO and select 0 deg flap if required.
10 ‐ It is recommended that 18 deg flap be retained for repeated instrument and visual approach. If the missed approach is to a
hold, or diversion, select 0 deg flap.GA can be disengaged by:
- Pressing either SYNC button,
- Engaging the AP,
- Selecting the IAS mode,
- Capturing ALT from ALT ARM,
- Switching both FD bars switches off.
