Default How often do you have to go around?

How, when tower expects me to stay on final?




Tower will fix the problem and right of way rules are of no concern.
Just because I made you first doesn't mean you will necessarily stay
first. If that plan doesn't work you may be the one to go around if
that is the most efficient way to do things.


Well, I wasn't really speaking of right of way, more of being second
behind a much slower aircraft. And you resequencing me is fine, but
keep in mind that 1) the PIC is responsible for the safety of the
flight, 2) pilot is responsible for see and avoid in VMC, and 3) in the
interests of staying alive, I don't always trust ATC to keep me out of
the back of someone else.
