And what happens if the incoming plane goes missed?


Nothing.



You're assuming an awful lot about what the tower guy can and cannot see.

My home field tower doesn't have radar, or a brite scope slaved from the
approach control.

If there's an incoming IFR flight, and you want to go out IFR, you are not
going to be released until the incoming plane either lands or cancels IFR.


Well, it's done regularly. Whoever told you this stuff doesn't know what
he's talking about.
