@ two's-in
sounds really cool if you quote like that. But you should have read the rest of my post as well.

I clearly stated that it is often the safest way to go-around. As long as you have enough fuel offcourse..........or your not on fire
As said before there is no single answer. But I guess that's why we get paid.

@ FF

Most FO's will know their manuals/ airfield briefs etc... You should brief it and make sure he understands it (maybe an interactive brief?) Maybe you just briefed too quickly in all your godly experience and he just said yes because he could not follow you.

And if this is a problem which constantly happens at cat c airfields you should confront the company. And make sure they also qualify the f/o's as cat c. And if the company doesn't listen maybe a couple of go-arounds will get their attention.

I hope you don't meet the f/o who gets the tapes pulled and files an asr against you for not going around when he called for it.
