Og course. He was trundling down the runway.


That was the first you saw of him?

What difference does that make? I suspect you're playing your usual one sentence post
game that ends in something like "well, we do that, but that's not the proper term
for that here." If so, finish it up, 'cause you're on record so far as saying that,
if the runway gets blocked by one aircraft, no U.S. controller would cancel the
landing clearance of a following aircraft, and that's BS. Been there.

Pertinent quote:
When a number of independent aircraft (i.e., excluding formation
teams and the like) wish to land in quick succession, AIUI only
one will be "cleared to land" at any time in the UK, so if a
landing aeroplane doesn't clear the runway in time then the guy
behind who has not been "cleared to land" will be going around
anyway.

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