Don't mean to hijack the topic, but on that note it is becoming extremely difficult for a flight crew to do a go around.

It is simply discouraged so much, coupled with the human factors that are involved in a go around (most of us are hesitant to do one) making matters worse.


I believe there are some airlines, emirates, that don't even allow visual approaches. My first go around in my airline 4 years ago, my former chief pilot called me to the HQ.

"We are not a training airline, you wasted precious time and fuel"

How about the time when I saved a ton of them? Since then, stabilised instrument approaches. That's what the bosses want!
