A tower-induced go-round

Which the student may or may not have done while you've committed to
landing. I also would not want to be in the pattern with someone suddenly
pulling a 360 on final, either. IMO, the scenrios you're presenting do not
reflect the most courteous or safe options.

Cutting in front of someone on final, whether under orders or
voluntary, is never safe nor courteous.

Which, of course, is the point of this entire thread.

Never? At any distance?

You have trouble with the word "cutting"? I believe that says it
all.

No, that's a very subjective distance. Some idiots out there announce a
five mile final and expect me to follow them. I'll stick a Beech 99
being flown by a freight dog in front of the typical weekend flyer on a
mile and a half final all day long.

I'm having trouble with your usage of the word. Please explain what you
mean.

I hope that everyone realizes that if the runway was a conveyor belt none of
this would have happened in the first place.

I don't see how following a controller's instructions is discourteous, but
it may not always reflect the best judgement, so there are appropriate
responses for the PIC in those instances, e.g. "unable". I'm not too
surprised that a student wouldn't be comfortable using that option.

This thread seemed more like an aero version of "road rage" to me. In a
newsgroup with a lot of folks seeking to learn, that can't be a Good
Thing.

The controller's instructions put both the 172 and I on a course that
-- in the controller's opinion -- was going to cause a collision on
the runway. This is why he sent me around, after clearing me to
land.

You don't find this unusual?

"Road rage"? What are you *talking* about? No one was angry, no one
raised their voice, and nothing unsafe happened. This is simply a
discussion of a very unusual event. If there's any "rage" being felt
here, it must be yours.
