Bling,

No conversation, particularly late in the approach, there's no time for discussion.

We executed a missed approach the other day, new F/O flying, hot central Australia, thermal activity, float past the touchdown zone.

As Capt I called, "Go Around". F/O executed the manoeuvre well, the mains touching the runway briefly in the process, but we all lived to tell the tale, and no one claimed, we climbed vertically and I thort we wus gonna die"
