Batty,

Both of your postings on the previous page are logically thought out and well expressed. Your company SOPs are the same as ours - we operate Cat 3b aircraft. We are also expected to do a go around as you describe and practise this in the sim. Single pilot go arounds followed by another Cat3 approach are not too taxing - and even less so after practise.

Most of the other correspondents are of the other school of thought which is equally valid and represents the other way to "skin the cat". If we were to join their companies we would obviously switch allegience to the different SOPs.

You seem to be aware that studies have shown that about 50% of hull losses could have been prevented by adherence to SOPs.
