Missed Approaches
Having watched a couple of missed approaches at Gatwick yesterday, both due to departing aircraft being a bit slow getting away, I was wondering about the consequences.
Presumably there will be some grumbling about the extra fuel used, delays to arrival etc.
I wondered if there was some sort of formal investigation, possibly to point fingers and, if there was such an investigation, then does the party found to have been responsible have to stump up the additional costs that the go-around aircraft must incur? In today's world, someone has to be responsible for everything, no such thing as "stuff happens" so would the offending company (operator of the slow departure aircraft) try to offload the responsibility onto ATC, claiming they shouldn't have cleared the inbound aircraft to land before their aircraft was at least rolling?
