In was listening to this flight on my scanner.
App advised the crew that the wind on the ground at Avv was 010/08 and which Runway would you like? The crew said 18 ILS. So far no problems, 8 kts is well within limits.
Next call was a "Go Cat... Going around, climbing to 2500'" ( as published )
App advised to climb to 3000' ( They CORRECTLY DECIDED THAT THEIR TAILWIND AT 800' WAS TOO MUCH and wisely went around )

They then conducted a visual tear drop back to RWY 36, most likely within the circling area at all times.

App also confirmed if they were visual and they said yes.

So, if they stayed in the circling area and remained visual with the runway 36 approach environment and threshold WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???????

They didn't need to climb back up and do another VOR app for 36 as they were VISUAL.....

Some people need to settle down.

I would probably have done the same thing myself if diverting there at night. Normally a straight in app on an ILS is easier and SAFER than a non prec approach.
