Which flaps are used for a go-around?

In the context of the Embraer Regional Jet (ERJ), during a go-around procedure, it is standard to use Flaps 2/4. This configuration allows for sufficient lift while ensuring that the aircraft does not become too slow or unstable. The choice of Flaps 2/4 strikes a balance between lift and drag, enabling an effective climb out when power is added and maintaining control at lower speeds.

Using Flaps 2/4 also facilitates a quicker transition back to a clean wing configuration once adequate altitude and speed have been regained, which is essential for a successful go-around. Each flap setting has been designed and validated through testing to ensure optimal aircraft performance during various phases of flight, including the critical go-around maneuver.
