If all else fails, blame someone else.

Interesting how many go-arounds are now happening because of unstable approaches. Rather blame ATC.

However what the clever pilot does now know is that a FULL report goes to the CAA and it is investigated. Invariably the capt is the one that gets to have tea with the boss.

Of course if we hear comments like this about blaming the ATC, a further report goes to CAA. MMMM capt me thinks you better start thinking what u gonna say to the boss...

Reminds me of the situation the other day where someone decided on his own initiative to do a 360 on final, when the zone was IMC, cloud base of 1000ft, because he was unstable and told ATC he was just "sommer doing a 360!!!" Never mind the company traffic 6 miles behind him on the ILS in IMC.... Interesing situation that one. What ever happened to "in the event of a go-around, follow the publish MAP......"

OH well it takes all types to make the world go around.

See you next sat at the STAMMTISCH
