Every place I've worked at....a G/A is a non-event, it might cost half a tonne of fuel in a bug smasher like a 737 or 3 tonnes in a 400.....but its a non-event.
Companies that want to investigate on the basis of a decision to throw it away and have another go....just increase the pressure on guys/gals not to want to throw the approach away in the first case...for the less enlightened..its part of a decent SMS..and is hand in hand with a "no blame culture"..

haughtney1, sms doesnt work with a no-blame culture. A just culture is used with a mature sms.
As for go-arounds, last company did require a report for go-arounds and did investigate circumstance. But not to nab the crew -the idea being to pick up on trends forming. eg local atc issues or wx forecasting, or wildlife running round. The company didnt give a monkies if the crew went round cause of stability issues, only followed it up to ensure external influences on crew were in check.

I am now happy, I have found out who, what why...........
It was not a Jetconnect 737, but one from another airline, and he went around because a foreign heavy couldnt decide to take off, after being cleared................
Interesting comments, at least the sensible ones.
A go-around should always be no blame, safety must never be compromised.
Cheers

Talking of AKL not every day that you hear... Emirates A380 you are number two to a Dakota DC3 on Finals !!
Talk about pressure not to screw up the landing and send THAT thing around!
I'd never hear the end of it!

Yes... well we turned a very short finals in front of them.
No pressure
, didn't want to do a ground loop and end up facing an A380 zooming over my head!
It was a pretty unique experience, I'm a lucky guy to still be flying a true and legend of the sky ZK-DAK.
