As a few events during the last few years have shown us a go-around is not always safe and simple!
I have no argument against pursuing the safest course of action, adhereing to SOPs and practising good airmanship.
However, that said, there are times when events arise that are not covered by SOPs or manuals and then the crew have to make a decision based on their knowledge.
I can illustrate such and occurence by an experience of mine. One night in cruise at FL350 while reading a flight manual
my attention was rudely summoned by a GPWS; WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP & TO LOW TERRAIN!! After swallowing my heart I did nothing although my SOPs tell me that I should have applied full power and climbed like hell! ( In a A320 I ask you, you can't out climb a moth up there!!!
)
In the same vein 'were I to get one on an ILS in DAY VMC with the runway and terrain insight I would most likely continue to land.
