Get this rubbish off Prune. Plug the plug on it, Plugg!
I'm glad the English have a good grasp of English grammar...

Speaking of faceious!!
Sure I`m going to hear that the heroic pilots battled the controls and bravely avoided the school/hospital/orphanage (take yer pick) before pulling out all the stops ....ok you know the rest

The reason for this go-around was because the aircraft in front was taking it's time vacating the runway, hence causing the go-around at CGN. Nothing out of the ordinary.

If only the A320series had the soft go around of the A380 then maybe this wouldn't get reported...
However (as reported you understand) - 400m ABOVE the runway - No wonder they had to G/A, they had no chance of landing. Also, this was the 'last moment' that they could do it. Oh man, all that training I've had over the years doing G/A's from 50' on Cat IIIa approaches is wasted. I'm gonna get a new job...

There is indeed nothing particularly newsworthy here. But it does make me wonder if the A321 was a bit close behind the preceding aircraft rather the one in front being slow to vacate. If he he went around at at 1200 feet it suggests this was the case. The controllers tend to line people up at regular intervals. But there can be huge differences in approach speed. Unless otherwise instructed our SOP is to take the gear and flap 15 at 2000 feet and be stable checklist read at the latest by 1000 feet. On a ferry flight the vref can be below 120 knots which I always tell the controller. An A321 particularly if it is high energy can catch up pretty quickly. We are all doing what we are supposed to and it is no big deal. But the one behind should be able to judge the situation better than the one in front and slow down. The only bit of the article I am sure is spot on is that most of our passengers do not enjoy go-arounds and regard them as dangerous.

Best fly the speed ATC says... or let them know in good time - i.e. before you are on the ILS - the speed you want and they will accommodate you.
