Which step concludes the go-around sequence?

• A. Apply full power smoothly.
• B. Establish a climb attitude.
• C. Retract flaps as appropriate.
• D. Resume/course to pattern or exit as directed.

Answer: (D)

Ending a go-around means you’re returning to normal flight and rejoining the intended path. After you’ve initiated the climb and configured the airplane for the climb, the final step is to resume the course to the pattern or exit as directed. This closes the go-around sequence and places you on the required track. The earlier actions—applying power smoothly, establishing a climb attitude, and adjusting flaps—are part of getting established in the climb, while resuming or exiting completes the maneuver.
