Hell, Thats an easy answer. Even a caveman or a pilot can answer that.

Well, as you didn't answer it, I'll have to assume you are neither.



Read this real slow thickhead...


No need. I can read it quickly, no matter how slowly you wrote it.



A competent tower controller that just stuck a slower and higher
landing trafffic in front of another aircraft that he/she ALREADY
cleared to land should have stated to the preceding plane " exit the
runway without delay, landing traffic on a 1/2 mile final" while the
preceding plane was still on the rollout.


There was no need for that.



He/she should not have
waited for the guy/girl to make a complete stop on the runway.


The pilot should not have made a complete stop on the runway regardless.



If you
just go back and reread this whole thread it should become crystal
clear to a sane and competent controller that Jay was given a go
around because of the tower controller was asleep at the switch.


How could the controller give Jay a go around while he was asleep at the
switch?

To those of us that have read this whole thread and also have some knowledge
of ATC procedures it is crystal clear that Jay had plenty of room behind the
preceding 172, and that an alert controller issued a go around to Jay when
he observed the 172 had stopped on the runway. Good for him.



There
are those of us who make a living in the private sector and have to
prove ourselves every day to stay employed.


Just like the controllers at JEF.



Then there is the
government workers who BS their way though life and the system to make
it to retirement, milking the system the whole time.... Jay and I and
alot of others work for the private sector and are surviving in the
black. Your employer is the US government who is 9+ trillion in the
red. It is either your move or checkmate on our part...


You can only hope to perform your job as well as I perform mine.



In closing I still admit that Steven. P. Mc Nicoll knows his regs
probably better then most other aviation people ,, But he forgot his
common sense at the office..


Those with common sense don't hold controllers responsible for a pilot's
mistake.
