I'm sure this experience is not unique and as it is related to OHJ's it seems reasonable to post here.
Having called finals at an AFISO airfield, an aircraft which was already lined up decided to take-off. I continued the approach with the intention to go-around if I wasn't happy with the separation and as expected, I had to make the go-around call.
I started re-configuring the aircraft and commencing the climb on the dead side, aiming to level off at circuit height whilst remaining visual with the departing aircraft.
At this point, around about the centre of the runway, I noticed an OHJ aircraft approaching from the dead side, on a descending track which actually would take him
just below me as long as I maintained the climb. In the event I had to maintain the climb to above circuit height in order to increase the separation.
So here are the questions:
1. Apart from calling 'short final' was there anything else I could have done better? (More concerned with ANC at the time!)
2. If OHJ traffic conflicts with an aircraft going around, is it the case that the go-around traffic has precedence?
I realise that the name of the game is avoidance, but any informed and constructive comments are most welcome
