apologies for the wrong forum...oops! no offence intended...i'm well aware go-arounds are commonplace, but having seen it happen the other day, i was just interested as to what circumstances would trigger the decision....i know surface conditions of one kind or another are a frequent cause, but the weather was basically perfect, so presumably it was an ATC related matter or some kind of technical issue?? merely curious as to what type of thing would force this decision...i'm just interested in the job that you guys (and girls) do, apologies if basic curiosities like this upset you cornerstone - you're more than welcome to ask me as many mundane questions about my job as you want, you'll get a patient reply every time.... :-P
