Time spent in ATC facilities or procedures?
Either or both. I am definitely interested in how you would improve procedures.

... until a 777 has to go around, and passes over the runway at 1500 feet, climbing.
PHX has class B airspace, a clearance is required, and ATC is responsible for separation between VFR and IFR traffic. Why would there be a problem? If in VMC (and that is a given as the smaller plane would be flying under VFR) the 777 is responsible for separation too. The PHX VFR corridor runs over the approach end of the runways, about 2000 ft AGL. Your mythical 777 has no business being close to any light aircraft that has been cleared through that airspace, go around or not.
Basically, PHX approach knows what it is doing, as does the 777 captain. I'd rather be flying in the VFR corridor than below the class B where I am not talking to anybody, I don't have ATC providing a radar service, and I am mixing it with other VFR traffic flying 200 ft below the floor of the class B. I would hasten a guess that the 777 captain would also prefer the target on his TCAS to be talking to approach.
