In some cultures a missed approach is somehow considered as a loss of face. e.g. the perfectly good Gulf Air A320 flight crashing into the water years ago while orbiting on final rather than completing a missed approach, Asiana at SFO and many more. Feeling forced to avoid a missed approach, regardless of all the circumstances, is something I have frequently observed in others. A written report and meeting with fleet chief actually confirms misconceived attitudes to missed approach.
The sooner all cultures accept a missed approach as a normal manoeuvre the sooner aviation safety will improve.
Missed approaches are practiced in the sim, often EO, unusual config or other emergency conditions. We need to look more at the all engine, no emergency missed approach in the sim, with brief/debrief emphasising that it is as normal as a take-off or landing. Just not performed as often.
How much grief will be avoided if this message bears fruit.
