As I explained already at the beginning of this thread , TWR controllers cannot issue a Go around instruction for that reason, Once a PIC reports established on the ILS ,he is on his own , It is up to them to manage his approach .TWR Controllers should not interfere unless the runway is blocked or becomes not avail . In addition in many modern Towers you cannot monitor the approach anyway ( too far away )
