Chaps. Go arounds are normally flown because it's a good idea. The best analogy I can give you is a fast bowler to a batsman being fielded by silly mid off. Hit the buttons low level in a light weight twin-jet and things go b&ggering off exit stage up goddarn quick. Great fun...... ! However regaining a sensible flightpath afterwards is the hardest bit (autopilot flight direcftor, flaps, gear, composure..) Hence long periods of silence from the front following a G/A is quite normal. I've done several, I think trying to explain it away is the worst bit!!
