The issue for the OP was a go-around well above DA/MDA. That certainly does not constitute "all the time" and may very well occur less frequently than a missed approach at, or near, DA/MDA.
I was answering this quote:
bubbers44 I have done many missed approaches because of no ground reference and have never used TOGA because of passenger concern.
I believe that some standardization is required in GA but obviously when necessary,a manual maneuver should be no sweat for a captain.
If one cant manage pitch and thrust,it is indeed worrying.
About the Candy Dandy, thanks ill remember that
I think we all agree that manula skills are paramount at least for the captain,the first officer will over the years hopefully get to practice and should not be upgraded if unable to revert to manual with a certain ease in normal conditions.
If the apparent lack of skills in some airlines is a concern,maybe those airlines in question should review their training and check their crew manual skills more thoroughly.
Concerning the GA above the minima,there are many ways to skin the cat as long as both pilots are in the loop.
Proper SOPs and adherence to those is paramount to reduce mistakes,crew coordination and manual skills are essential too.
