I assume you mean apart from southerly winds?

I am familiar with the departure whilst one a/c circles onto 36. My point is when flying the ILS to land on 18 and having another a/c coming down the approach behind you. During the day they will expect you to G/A into a downwind left hand visual pattern for another approach to RWY18. At night I can only assume they were expecting the same! Don't know about you, but I certainly wouldn't be doing that in the dark!

I would have thought that. in view of the procedure track, there was time in the event of a g/a from the 18 ILS to clear the approach
The problem is an engine failure. If that is the reason for your G/A I suspect it could be very interesting flying the missed approach and trying to out climb someone coming down the approach!!!!
