I got my ticket pulled recently and was just curious as to the circumstances. I was cleared to land at KLGA when, about 2 miles from touchdown, I was advised by the tower to Go Around. I noted a private aircraft on the rwy preparing to launch. I decided to land anyway due to the approach of cocktail time. Since it was my understanding that AI traffic was 'Frozen' during this period, is this kind of thing programmed to occur on a random basis just to keep us honest??RegardsRoger

did you have a comment about a steak dinner? that usually means your gears weren't down.if there was a plane on the runway, you would get the go around.it's all a matter of timing. if the ai had started his takeoff process, i let him go. if he doesn't get off in time, you get the go around. i don't want to freeze him, if he is on the runway. that would make things worse.jd

Thanks JD. My gear was down. THIS TIME. :) A good quality bourbon did ease my feelings after the authorities yanked by ticket.RegardsRoger
