August 1, 201312 yr I just saw this news article from FlightGlobal a few minutes ago, and I would like to get your response. (I guess this is a good forum as I assume you guys do most of your simming in large "Transport category aircraft".) When was your last go-around? What was the reason? Do you usually fly the full IFR missed approach procedure to holding or just re-position visually or via vectors? Did you screw up or bust a restriction on your last Go-around? Also do you routinely use the some sort of "traffic zapper" if AI traffic gets in your way? Read the article here, especially the last 2 paragraphs: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/go-around-study-reveals-failure-to-check-basic-criteria-388991/ :blink:
August 1, 201312 yr I went around because I was unstable into ksfo, did it at about 2000ft 3nm from the rwy. Had some very bad act and could never get on a good descent profile. That was in the sim. In real life went around at KFWS for a disabled aircraft on the runway he had a dual engine failure. Adam Ruemenapp
August 1, 201312 yr That is a badly chosen set of anwers... I have hardly done a single flight in last 1-7 days, while in my most productive times I might have done upwards of ten in a same timeframe. The last go-around I did might have been 10-15 flights ago? I have not been cleared to land in time due to traffic in front taking their time to vacate (online). Then there was this one flight about 6ish flights ago, which I normally would go around from (unstable approach), but I only had so much time available in the sim, so I landed. Turned out OK, considering the unstable approach and their visuals, which were a bit off (horizon a couple degrees under where it should be) --Peter Fabian
August 1, 201312 yr I had 3 GA on same flight a couple of days ago. Just rebuilded my fsx.CFG, and i forgot to disable turbulence and thermal effects on aircraft. I had a very hard time to stabilize NGX on LEPA 06L approach, and i figured out what happens after i landed. But i perfom GA every time when when plane is not stabilized at minimums. Sometimes, it happens that i don't have time for that, and i land to late or too fast. I like realism, but it happens Zeljko Budovic
August 1, 201312 yr The last go around I was in was with one of my students the other day. He got too low and slow and made the decision to go around. I was so proud of him. Made my day.

August 1, 201312 yr I had to perform a go around in St. Petersburg the other day. I was too low on final and so low I couldn't intercept the G/S Regards, Jeremy Chesney
August 1, 201312 yr I had to G/A during the Vatsim Tirana Summer Fly-in, I was too high and fast to intercept the LOC/GS rwy 18 properly.
August 1, 201312 yr Yesterday. On final RWY 20 EBBR. I wasn't really paying enough attention, so I wasn't stable by 500 AGL => Go-Around. I flew the full procedure, with a few minutes holding to give myself ample time to configure again for approach. Name available upon request
August 1, 201312 yr I went around twice coming into FAOR today, loads of fun Lethukuthula Vilakazi FACT & FAPM Proud Owner: PMDG NGX, PMDG 747-400x
August 1, 201312 yr 3 minutes ago on the approach to LEPA due to localiser deviation... Trying now for a 2nd time, wish me luck... ^_^ http://fs2.fs2crew.com:8080/SimpleTracker/map.do Regards, Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.

LOL! This was my problem too, but i had very strong turbulence and some strange thermals too. I disabled them after that experience. fingers crossed! Zeljko Budovic
August 1, 201312 yr Made it down and now turning around for the return trip... ^_^ Regards, Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.
August 1, 201312 yr I recommend AISmooth for better control of AI traffic. My last go a round was KMDW. On my flare, the NGX just kept floating.

August 1, 201312 yr Yesterday, due to the weird way that fsx does fog. Neared the runway and went from great visibility to none in about 1 second. Was flying the approach manually and got thrown off by the sudden fog. Went around and disabled the fog. Ryan L.
August 1, 201312 yr I got caught off by some pretty powerful gusts the other day on approach to LGAV. I didn't feel comfortable continuing the approach when I was a couple of hundred feets AGL, so I opted to go around instead of putting my virtual passengers at risk in my newly polished 737-800 NGX. ^_^ I've had a handful of go-arounds due to weather conditions/not fully stabilized at minimums since I started flying the NGX. A lot more due to a combination of the way FSX handles AI traffic and ATC... -Henrik Ryzen 7 7800X3D - RTX 5090 - 64gb DDR5 - Moza AB9 with MH16 Flightstick, MTQ Throttle, Thrustmaster Pendular rudder.
