Sure, it\u2019s easy to say in ground school and among each other \u201cI\u2019ll always do the safe and smart thing and go around.\u201d But will you? I was faced with the expanding situation of a long duty day, minimal fuel reserves, rowdy passengers, a new co-pilot, and that ever-present gorilla in the room...the economics of a go-around. We like to make big noise that economics aren\u2019t a factor in our decision to go around, but you wouldn\u2019t be the Type A professional pilot that you are without thinking about dollars\/minute. In my situation, we were already late to our destination and the operation was waiting on our bird so another crew could take it on the next leg. So what does a go-around cost for us? Don't even think about the fuel, but the operations folks tell me it costs between $1000 and $4000 for a go-around. What does it cost for your operation? Does the VIP in the back get upset because he\u2019s late for that meeting? Does it ruin your on-time performance that the company likes to use as advertising? It takes approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on the airport, to complete your cleanup, get back in sequence, reconfigure, and land. All of that has a price tag associated with it.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/images_Go_around.jpg","thumbnail_width":395,"thumbnail_height":304}
