When is a go-around recommended during a flight?

A go-around is recommended when a landing is unsafe or not stabilized because safety should always be the top priority during the landing phase of a flight. A non-stabilized approach indicates that the aircraft is not properly positioned, speed is incorrect, or the descent rate is not appropriate, which can lead to a hazardous landing situation. By opting for a go-around, the pilot allows for a reassessment of the approach and configuration, thereby enhancing the chances of a safe landing.

Ensuring that the approach is both stabilized and safe enables the pilot to adjust the flight path, reconfigure the aircraft as necessary, and prepare for another approach, ultimately reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew.
