Going around what to do?

helloooooo.....

I wouldn't sidestep THAT far... NOR would I sidestep into traffic (that
I know about). Steve, Give it a rest. As PIC, I'm responsible for the
safety of my aircraft and of my actions. You quoted the regs saying
just that. If I feel that I *need* to deviate from ATC instructions to
avoid an imminent collision, then I believe that would constitute and
EMERGENCY. In an emergency, it is well known that I may deviate from
the FARs to meet the needs of that emergency. Also, remember, Aviate,
Nagivate, and Communicate. I'll tell ATC what is going on, but not
before I ensure the safety of my flight. That being said, I don't doubt
that ATC will not intentionally issue an instruction that would put me
in harm's way. That still does not relieve me of being situationally
aware and ready to respond appropriately to a given situation/instruction.

I agree. Be safe and if they want to scream and yell at least
everyone is alive to vent.


Not if you turn and collide with somebody on downwind.
