Chaps, any pilot will tell you the golden rule is:AVIATENAVIGATECOMMUNICATEsee what comes third. a go round like everybody has said is high work laod, even in little planes. youre talking to the tower, youre flying the plane (gear flaps airspeed) your postioning for missed approach (hopefully you have the plates out.or your figures are busy punching the keypad)..or slotting back into the circuit...etc..It gets busy even for two people. I was on a 747 of the eastern seaboard USA when lightning struck the nose, hell of a concussive bang... the pilots took an age to come on the PA, PAX bitched and moaned... but what were they doing?... trying to see properly again for one,... checking systems..comms running the check lists. I'd rather have them busy up front looking after the driving than tell me its ok.
