If Mr. Controller says: "Maintain runway heading..." is there any doubt?

NTSB recommends changes after near misses on go-arounds - Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association

Current ATC rules ensure safe separation during arrivals and departures, but do not, the NTSB said, adequately account for aborted landings. “In such situations, a flight crew performing a go-around may be put into the position of having to execute evasive maneuvers at low altitude and high closing speeds with little time to avoid a mid-air collision,” the NTSB said in a press release.
