Anthony, have you ever been in a military plane on a long mission? Or, have
you ever been in the military at all? In fact, have you ever ridden in anything other than a commercial airliner? Of course not, so why comment or even bother trying to give input to those who have? |

Was on a 747 going into Honolulu that did a go around for traffic on the runway. Seemed kind of unexpected or almost ironic to spend 4 hours flying across an ocean and then not land. -- Gene Seibel Gene & Sue's Aeroplanes - http://pad39a.com/gene/planes.html Because we fly, we envy no one. |

I was on a go around, or a missed approach (I don't remember which) back in the 80s going into Logan. Once in maybe a hundred flights. Doesn't happen often, and it was a real suprise. Once in many hundreds or thousands is more like it. I think I have done two in the last five years... Both on ILS's Bertie |

I don't fly commercial often, but I've enjoyed two go-arounds. One was at
Denver and the other was at Las Vegas. |

That can do it, too. the old saw is that each approach is an approach to a go around, A landing off of it is a bonus.. Bertie |

I used to spend a lot of time on the PHX ramp when I based my plane there. Big Iron go arounds were not that unusual. With only two parallel runways and two large carriers (Am West, Southwest) trying to turn around all their planes simultaneously, it was often a madhouse. Topping the list of go- around causes were jets that had been given (and acknowledged) an immediate takeoff clearance, then dawdled after taking the active. Next was winds/dust storms from the summer monsoon. Although I had to often go around because of jet traffic ahead, I never saw a case where a small GA forced an airliner around (although I'm sure it must have happened occasionally). We little guys were always on our best behavior. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200810/1 |
