franzl, you are boring us with your re-definition of ATC and its tasks. Regardless what your idea about ATM managment is (that's why there is no more Air Traffic Control, but ATM - Air Traffic Managment), the tasks of ATCOS is pretty clear. If you are asking what kind of approach PLF101 was cleared to - well, trial approach, according to the crew. Now go and find that in your books. I'm pretty sure you won't fnd them in ICAO documents. Even during PAR, it is NOT up to ATCO to command go-arround, unless prescribed otherwise by local authorities. PLF101 had no official status (HEAD), but people at the airport had an idea WHO is coming. Again, it was THE CREW which SCREWED it up, responsibility of ATCOS finished when PLF101 busted ALL minimas (by QFE and RA) plus, do you have any bloody idea HOW FAST IS 8m/s on approach?
