Going around what to do?

Left hand traffic. You sided step a bit to the RIGHT of final. That
is on the opposite side of the runway to downwind.

No safety issue.


Towered field. The pattern is whatever ATC says it is. There could be left
hand traffic or right hand traffic or both simultaneously.



Steve, perhaps you feel that ATC is faultless but that would be an
inorrect assumption. Anyone who blindly follows ATC without
exercising proper pilot responsibilities may become a statistic.


I'm well aware that ATC is not faultless, I've witnessed many ATC errors.
But nothing in the scenario under discussion here suggests any hazard from
properly following ATC's instruction to go around. What some here don't
seem to appreciate is the potential hazard in blindly violating an ATC
instruction.

If you choose to worry about that situation you may. It is not a
realistic scenario to me.


Why not?

For a nanosecond or two, I thought maybe a reasoned response would
elicit a meaningful exchange of information / ideas.


So why did you decide not to?

I would consider sidesteping by 50 or 100 feet to increase ability to see
traffic, as still complying with the "overfly the runway" bit. I'm sure
you
feel differently.


Then you'd be wrong. If you're still over the runway you're clearly
overflying the runway and are thus in compliance with the ATC instruction.

The OP introduced 2 scenarios. One at a controlled field and one:

"You are approaching a non towered field, communicate right and all that
stuff, your on final, suddenly a cessna pulls up and starts it's take
off roll."


We're discussing the one at the controlled field.

Because I finally realized I was wrestling with a pig in mud.
