Steven, I don't think anyone is saying that.


I think Andrew Gideon is saying that.


What I wrote was:

Where I live, controllers attempt to do so. They don't
always succeed. Sometimes they err, sometimes tires fail, ...

It would take creative reading to take that to mean, as you asked:

a blown tire means the controller didn't provide proper spacing?

I assume that you're doing this deliberately, creating noise to cover your
statement:

In the US, controllers would sequence the arriving aircraft so that a go
around would not be necessary.

which ignores that it is occasionally necessary for controllers to wave off
aircraft in the US. I might have assumed this "creative reading" to be an
error on your part, but you then accused me of being "inexperienced" merely
because I had experienced controllers issuing go-around instructions.
That's too silly, given that inexperience would be a *lack* of experience.
