Quote: Most pilots are embarrassed about "go arounds" people. ATC wants to know the reason, the employer wants to know the reason and basically the pilot does not want to be seen to be a goof. There is far too much hubris with you guys. If an approach is dangerous don't accept it. If the company you fly for is not happy move to Taiwan. Plenty of good employers out there. At least you KNOW that some far flung destination will have a non precision approach. You don't have to accept third world standards in the USA. An airport this size not having a radar fix on approach heights is unbelievable.
Wrong again. I have never been embarrassed by doing a go around, ATC didn't care why I did it, and my employer never asked any questions. Any other uneducated crap you want to talk about?
