From: last time I looked I was still here.
PMI is a classic place for this to happen. The go-rounds, especially RW24 are very different. I agree with the confusion about heads down FMC-ing at 1000'. Having the chart handy for the side step RW is important and then you can fly the G/A using basic modes. No FMC involved. (scary for some. NO LNAV).
Being pedantic, ATC ask if you can accept a side step? One reply might be "only if you tell me the G/A routing". I'm sure there will as many opinions as training captains you ask.
The confusion is if the side step RW is an IFR runway with ILS or NPA, but I assume the side step procedure is conducted visually. Some will say you G/A using the IFR procedure for the landing RW. Some will say treat it like a circle to land and G/A from the initial IFR approach runway.
I await the definitive answer.
