Talkdown man.

'Why is this so difficult to understand?' Well, it's not.

So lets say you go around. still no clearance the next time. Go around again. Then what? Another GA?

You've got to land. So land!

They pay the money for the pilot to make the call. A go around is not risk free. or cost free.

OK you might have a B-52 up yer arse. with no brakes. on UHF. And ATC are keeping it a secret.

More likely ATC forgot to call you!

Edit to add. This obsession with going around is going to get folk killed in the end. You problems don't end if you GA. Obviously there are plenty problems that a GA will cure, but there are some that will be made a lot worse. Look at that RYR that tried a GA after losing an engine on short final.

I accept that is a different arguament from this thread.
