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? No. He thought his instructions would work. When he realised that he had made a mistake, he resolved the situation by sending you around. Pretty much what I expect from a controller. Stefan |

No. He thought his instructions would work. When he realised that he had made a mistake, he resolved the situation by sending you around. Pretty much what I expect from a controller. Interesting. Apparently I have heretofore been blessed by only flying into airports with excellent controllers. This atypical experience has obviously given me unrealistic expectations. From now on, I will regard landing clearances with greater suspicion. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

When he realised that he had made a mistake, He didn't make a mistake, he simply reacted to conditions as they change. That's what controllers do. |

Pretty much what I expect from a controller. The controller's instructions did work. Jay has stated he was 4500' behind the 172 when it landed. The controller issued the go around because the 172 unexpectedly stopped on the runway. |
