Common errors in the performance of go-around (rejected landings) are: 

• Failure to recognize a condition that warrants a rejected landing, 

• Indecision, 

• Delay in initiating a go-round, 

• Failure to apply maximum allowable power in a timely manner, 

• Improper speed, 

• Attempting to climb out of ground effect prematurely, and 

• Failure to adequately compensate for torque/P- factor. 

##  Short and Soft Field Landing Techniques 

Many WSC aircraft land routinely on short and soft fi elds. The type of WSC and appropriate systems for short and 

soft field was discussed in the Components and Systems chapter. Here, some techniques for these landing areas are discussed. 

##  Short-Field Approaches and Landings 

Short-field approaches and landings require the use of procedures for approaches and landings at fields with a relatively short landing area or where an approach is made over obstacles that limit the available landing area. [Figure 11-22]  As in short-field takeoffs, it is one of the most critical of the maximum performance operations. It requires that the pilot fly the aircraft at one of its crucial performance capabilities while close to the ground in order to land safely within confi ned areas. 

To land within a short field or confined area, the pilot must have precise, positive control of the rate of descent and airspeed to produce an approach that clears any obstacles, results in little or no floating during the roundout, and permits the aircraft to be stopped in the shortest possible distance. As with the short takeoff maneuver, this should only be done
