In my view the decision to go around at low altitude should not be taken lightly. Especially in VMC conditions, where the arriving pilot has the departing traffic in sight.
One should bear in mind that at some(most ?) aiports the missed approach routing is the same as the SID.
So if you decide to go around from below 200 ft the chance is that you will be travelling faster than the departing airplane, both of you following the same route, while he is climbing and cannot see above and behind, and you cannot see below you. If nothing is done, you may probably end up at the same point at the same time, at the same altitude := The missed approach altitue is sometimes the same as the SID.
Just something to think of.

Thats what eyes and ears are for, just maybe you might take that into consideration when conducting the GA. "doh"

A few days ago I saw an A330 on takeoff roll as a 744 touched down behind it on the same runway. I was listening to the tower for clearane to cross the runway and didn't hear any clearance to land for the 744. They were on the ground together at the same time for 3 - 5 seconds. Is this normal? Does it happen very often?
