The fact emains, ANSA, that you guys simply have somehow to get the message across to your bosses in Abu Dhabi that the rules they make to operate under are grossly inefficient in the traffic densities that are fast becoming the norm every night in Dubai.
A go around costs big bucks, and not just that, with the smell of an oily rag many of us are arriving in Dubai with these days thanks to company cost cutting policies, it can really lead to an 'interesting' situation fuel wise by the time you get back on finals for a second try. The rules you are forced to operate under are leading to unnecessary go arounds. That's a fact. The performance of modern day jets in a go around is such that there is no problem at all allowing them to continue to 200 feet (or even lower) before requiring them to go around.
Sorry if some see this as thread creep, but I have no interest in slanging off at the controllers. I suspect each and every one of them is as frustrated as we pilots are at their having to abide by rules that are simply too conservative.
Bring on the famil flights and many of these problems would disappear within a week or two.
