"What do I expect from the Captain"

You have maybe 20 seconds or less to get a reassuring PA out whilst perhaps listening to ATC through a spare ear in the middle of a sequence of events you weren't planning on, and also watching what your colleague is doing....you have no script ( though I suspect some of us have learnt over the years to have a vague format) and you have to be very carefull not to confuse or frighten people. ( FWIW words like "close" and " abort" can frighten the pants off some nervous flyers, many people won't know what a "go-around" or "ATC" is).

What would you say? (give it a try, it's an interesting exercise).

the OP just asked a benign question on an open forum only to be flamed (mildly singed anyway) for it.
Fair enough, but TBH unless he/she lucks in and one of the crew drop in here he was always unlikely to get an answer better than the one he was given in flight....I'm not sure else he can expect.
