Gettheritis?

Going around @ Egelsbach is no fun at all, especially not in a Citation. Remember: you had cancelled IFR prior to landing, and Langen Radar has long forgotten about you. Now you find yourself caught in a small cage of airspace, max altitude 1.500ft. (3.500ft, respectively) with only Egelsbach Info, and the big jets lingering only 2000ft. above you.

What do you do?

-Circle and wait for the wx to approve?

-Divert, including a huge workload with Langen Radar, and all the trouble after landing, because your company/boss/passengers won´t be amused?

-Close you eyes, pray, and try to make it anyway?
