Perhaps with a platform altitude of 3000 and a missed approach altitude of 2000 for example
In Stockholm you capture the G/S at 4000 ft and MAA is 1500 ft.
Because you might be asked to go around in the example at Stockholm above at say 3000 ft.

​​​​​​Yup, all made up. We don't always go around at exactly the minima or at the MAA in the examples above. Usually in a descending go around it ATC directed and in the above examples there is a long way between 3000 and 2000 in the first point say 1min approx that example, or 4000 and 1500 in second say 2 mins approx. I would say thats 'plenty of time'. If your unable to manage to get the aircraft to smoothly intercept a given altitude and level off in that period without going through selecting TOGA etc etc then you have more problems to worry about. As I said above:

How do you cope when ATC surprises you and sends you around just below, at or slightly above MAA?........ The operative words there are just above or just below. Then you deal with it as you describe. This discussion was about when you have plenty of time.
