Well, a go-around would make a lot more sense .. with the a/c routing west after abandoning finals. The resultant low-flight circuit, from the west, over my own place and the residents of Bishopstown would fit in with this proposition - however, how one could get into a position where a go-around was deemed necessary (under the CAVOK conditions which prevailed at EICK that day) is totally beyond me .... but that, as they say, is a completely different matter.


ps - on an unrelated matter (and I know this is going to sound like RYR-bashing), on a recent flight with them, the CC announcements were made by someone for whom English was not her first language. I can safely say that I was not alone in being unable to understand one word of her safety brief (and all subsequent announcements). Does this not pose a potential safety issue in the result of an emergency?
