Landing incident at FAJS with Egyptian a/c?

Ummmm, no. It was just a standard go-around.
Define "standard" for us won't you please, because its standard everywhere else except at JNB.

You're joking, right? Since when is a go-around at ORTIA a standard thing? It always gets investigated, people (ATCOs) get suspended and banished to clearance delivery for the duration of the inquest.....and all that when it was just a "standard go-around"?

I'm not saying though that those times aren't on the way back!

Sad, that an incident like that gets a controller in trouble. Altough this incident involved a landing a/c, makes me think of the previous thread with the 'fully ready saga'. Runway ocupancy in JHB is a big issue! I have twice heard the tower tell an a/c to roll now! Something that has to be addressed by the drivers. Fully ready is not a bad idea perhaps ....

two things:
one, you dont get suspended for initiating a go-around for a landing aircraft if the preceding has not vacated in time. thats just good safety practice. (and preceding landing pilot should be clobbered)
two: runway occupancy is a big thing!!! and most airlines play the game of getting off the landing runway or rolling as soon as they are cleared for take-off. but every now and then a slacker "strolls" unto the rwy and causes havoc for the rest, especially during single runway ops.
please all, lets all play the game safely and expeditiously!

There is also the insurance angle to consider in a suspension. ATC has one or two go-arounds and then a serious oopsy and "Insurance-Broker-Of-Your-Choice" says nah, we're not gonna pay it, no we ain't gonna pay it, we're not gonna pay it any more.

In VMC by day an a/c can be given a 'land after' under certain criteria, such as braking action of the second a/c won't be affected, the a/c on final approach has the one on the runway in sight, etc
We do it all the time in FACT.

No, we don't. On 03R the runway is at such an angle, actually looks very much like and upside down bowl, that if you touchdown - you can barely see the tower, let alone the aircraft ahead of you still on the runway. One of the conditions for the clearance is that the second aircraft continuously has the first insight until he is clear of the runway - and this is not possible.
