I would completely agree as well. I always brief it's one of the hardest manoeuvres we do. Why...because it can be unexpected and it's not sufficiently trained on sim details. It can be due to W/shear...baulked landing...or discontinued approach or a combination (each requiring different mindsets and rapid assimilation) and invariably a startle factor.

I can count the number of go arounds (non training) in my career on one hand.

One of those was recently in perfect flying conditions....

Was fatigue a factor..Yes. Was experience a factor....yes. Was the outcome of the manoeuvre ever in doubt....no.

But and it's a big but, the holes in the cheese are slowly lining up and I'm not alone in that viewpoint.
