Overshoot/go around
Hi flybymike,
That's interesting.
When I finally packed in flying in 1967 (only to return in 2005,) definitely the only term in use then was 'overshoot'.
I only came across the term 'go around' on my return in 2005. I must confess I had assumed 'go around' must be JAAspeak and thus introduced probably around 1999. Its earlier provenance is interesting.
