Skyhawk - Yes, it is alarmist nonsense. If the aeroplane behind you has to go around, he is hardly likely to choose to fly into the aeroplane in front of him!
Knight Paladin, thanks for putting me right about that, I thought he would DELIBERATELY fly into him, oh well you live and learn!

So let me get this right. You are saying that a Cessna 152 climbing out on a go-around at 60 knots along a long commercial runway (5,000ft) with a Boeing 737 (for the sake of argument) behind it with less than standard seperation travelling at 200 knots is an ideal situation? Is this why the ATC asked stenone to carry out an unconventional manoeuvre instead of a standard go-around?
