flash 8 brings up the question: what was the reason for the original go around?
The conversation presented in a previous post with graphic presentation of the ultimate dive, including all usual strong language, reminded me of the Polish President's crash into a Russian airfield. In that case the advice given by the tower was unfortunate; informing the Polish pilots that they were on track. Yes, perhaps, but trees got in the way.
Is it still the custom in Russia that the controller tells the pilot what to do?
Is it the practice in the US for the tower to order a pilot to go around?
