If you for any reason consider a Go Around in a functioning airplane, anything else then a routine manoeuvre, regardless of the type of aircraft you are flying, seat position upfront, company etc., then sorry, but you should not be there in the first place.
Well, I agree with you that pilots should not be afraid of going around, but I disagree that it is a routine manoeuvre, except in the sim.
In several decades of flying, except when training, I have probably had to go around less than ten times. So hardly routine, at least for me.
What are other peoples experiences with Go Arounds? Done hundreds of them? Or once every three or four years? I'm curious now.
The issuing of late landing clearances is, in my opinion, not good practice. I find it preferable in places such as Paris CDG where you are cleared even with one or two aircraft in front of you, and the decision to land is back with the crew.
