On other aircraft, the pilot configures manually for a go-around. In a typical small aircraft, such as those found in general aviation, this might involve: Applying full power (discontinuing carburettor heat if it is on) and setting fuel mixture and propeller pitch if applicable. Adopting an appropriate climb attitude and airspeed. Retracting one stage of flaps if necessary. Checking for a positive rate of climb. Raising the landing gear if the aircraft has retractable gear. Positioning to the deadside of the runway. Retracting the flaps fully when the aircraft achieves a certain safe airspeed and altitude. Climbing to pattern altitude. Advising control tower and/or other traffic by radio about the go-around.
