Okay, okay, I know! It's just a go around, nothing in it...but...
As I sat, snug in my warm house, I spy a DJ 738 (I think) on approach to RWY 27 bank right just prior to passing Gellibrand hill and do a slow circuit over Greenvale. It then resumed it's approach into 27 to, I assume, a perfectly normal landing. Now, go arounds, etc, don't concern me that much, but I'm curious as to the way this one was done.
My "limited" understanding is that, where safe to do so, you continue your heading & climb out to a determined altitude & return to the approach or new runway. I'm sure this manouvre I observed was completely normal & sanctiond by the Tower, but is it SOP for commercials?
Any forthcoming education would be most appreciated.
