Thanks - that's really interesting stuff. The go around I saw conditions were certainly CAVOK so no probs with vis. I couldn't see the traffic further down the runway, but with 12 aircraft on 2 base legs and 2 finals parallel to each other, I guess it was because of an occupied runway.
I remember my 1st solo go around in a little plane - it was quite a cut and dry one go around or land next to the runway instead of on it. But once that psycological barrier is broken and you make that decision for the first time - you dont even think about it in the future.
Routine as it is in any aircraft - must be one hell of a decision to make your first time in an airliner!
