Having pondered Westie and JW411 comments , i think they are correct in as much as in an ideal world the decision should have been made earlier .However ....... could it be that the crew decision to accept the land after in the first place was reasonable but then replaced by a better decision to go around when either more information was available to them or someone other factor intruded .
That to my mind is the risk you take if you accept a land after clearance ,you are now accepting responsibility for the actions of another PIC . I generally refuse land after clearances as they are often used by controllers as a "get out of jail free card" when its all gone to a ball of chalk.
I witnessed a horrific land after the departing involving 2 FR aircraft at STN last year , that made up my mind !
ps, I know that all clear to land clearances are conditional , however the legal onus/emphasis is very different in a land after.
Rgards to all
