Fella, first and foremost, ICAO can neither make laws not ensure that anyone adheres to those that individual states do choose to make. It certainly isn't a subject that any normal democracy would make a law about anyway. Get over it!

Second, on go-arounds. Never been criticised for one myself, nor ever heard of anyone who was. The biggest bollocking I ever got was for going to the CP and apologising for doing a G/A due to my completely misjudging an approach. He told me in no uncertain terms that he "Fekkin well pays me to do fekkin go-arounds" and not to fekking apologise for doing so. He was right - and a good lesson was learned. Any company that does as you suggest needs to bave a Flight Safety report filed against them for creating pressure to enter hazardous situations.

Finally, a poster above wonders why an ASR would be filed for a G/A. Some companys require one, simple as that. I don't agree with that policy (my co. is one of them) and I usually write a single short sentence to let them know I don't approve, "G/A due traffic on runway". It's just arse covering bullshine for one of the crowd of gutless list-tickers in the shed full of our list ticking "managers". Means nothing, it's just an annoying waste if my time but it's their train set.
