Mistakes happen. Good pilots learn from them.
I totally agree with Rock's statement.

FOM 6.45 Stabilized Approach Criteria - last sentence - "A go-around shall be initiated."

and in Rock's scenario (go around followed by safe/"stabilized" approach & landing) - your ASAP report would be accepted

my only reason for commenting on this thread in the first place was to attempt to clarify what the ASAP program "is for" and "is not for"
