<< A pilot in a trainer is occasionally told to do a "go-around" as a maneuver to avoid (or to practice avoiding) a conflict on the runway. It makes the pilot go through some mental gymnastics to get out of the routine landing mode and deal with a whole new set of circumstances. I do that to five-thousand hour pilots during flight reviews. >>

If, with now more than thirty-three and a half thousand hours TT, I could have a Hundred Bucks for every time I've either elected to and/or been directed to "go 'round" I'd be off the Hawaii for the next month.

[Except -- having seen way too many of the McCain and Holtgreen-like pilot-costumed cardboard cutouts hired these days to give the paying public the impression the pilots' seats are being used by other than other passengers [Unless related to Air France Concorde ops -- or SQ's Boeings -- the accident reports make no such errors] -- I hate to fly as a pasenger!]

Best ones -- B A
