Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) researchers plan to present a report to the FAA later this year with recommendations on procedures that can be used to help improve the safety of go-arounds.  

Associate professor Barbara Holder has spearheaded the research on go-arounds over the past three years under an FAA grant—initially as a technical fellow with Honeywell and now with the university—and recently held a workshop with industry and government leaders to gather feedback on the findings.
