What is the go-around pitch setting with one engine operating?

The correct go-around pitch setting with one engine operating is indeed 10 degrees. This setting is crucial for maintaining the appropriate climb attitude during a go-around procedure, especially in the event of an engine failure.

When an aircraft is performing a go-around with reduced power from one engine, the pitch setting of 10 degrees provides a good balance between maintaining sufficient speed and controlling the aircraft's climb performance. This angle allows the aircraft to achieve and maintain a manageable airspeed while ensuring positive climb gradient, which is essential for safely transitioning from the approach to a climbing phase.

Choosing a pitch angle that is too high can lead to an undesirable increase in drag and a potential loss of airspeed, mitigating the aircraft's performance capabilities. Conversely, a pitch angle that is too low may not provide enough lift for an effective climb, especially important when one engine is inoperative.

Understanding this pitch setting is critical for pilots to execute effective go-arounds, particularly in situations with engine loss, thereby enhancing safety and ensuring adherence to training protocols and performance standards.
