Forgive a humble SLF wanting to learn a little on what is probably basic information.
SVO in low cloud conditions. We were taxying in after landing when I noticed the following aircraft (TU154 I think, but I am no spotter so do not hold me to that!) executing a go around. What caught my interest was that the apparent reason for the go around was because the approach seemed to take the aircraft too far along the runway. Now my understanding is that blind landing instruments will accurately guide a correct approach to the start of the runway. It seems strange that this did not happen and I was wondering if there are reasons why that should be.
