Who has the authority to call for a go-around during an approach?

The authority to initiate a go-around during an approach is indeed held by any crew member at any time. This principle emphasizes the importance of safety and the shared responsibility among all crew members in the cockpit. If a situation arises where the approach may not be safe—such as poor visibility, instability in the approach path, or any other operational concern—any crew member can recognize these conditions and call for a go-around. This collaborative approach to decision-making enhances safety, allowing for quick responses to unforeseen events during critical phases of flight. It also encourages a culture of teamwork, where every crew member feels empowered to voice concerns about safety, ultimately contributing to safer operations in aviation.
