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.

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.

That is always a good idea. Things change.

He didn't make a mistake, he simply reacted to conditions as they
change. That's what controllers do.

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.
