Dreamland, actually, no it's not a point I'm missing. Read back a couple of my earlier posts, please. My reference to a B747 was only because someone else referred to that type in a response to me.

Again, a normal "go-around" situation would have been forseen (again, it's in the syllabus) and every student trains for that. Unfortunately, he wasn't given a "go-around" in the normal sense, either in the terminology used or the actual directions given.
