What is the point of doing an orbit on Finals???? why not just do a standard go-around. Yes modern aircraft are indeed capable of carrying out an orbit, they are also capable of doing negative 'g' pushovers, zoom climbs, stalls, operating with one engine shutdown. Does not mean that I would attempt any of these with fare paying passengers on board!! Safest way is quite simply go around and fly the approach again.
