A tower-induced go-round

That leaves out a controller that spaces planes too closely and any FAA order that can't conform to a given situation on short notice. What controller spaces planes too closely? FAR 91.3(a) states; "The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft." If a preceding properly-spaced aircraft uses his final authority as to the operation of his aircraft and stops on the runway ahead of you, forcing the tower controller to issue a go around, who would you hold directly responsible? You just don't give up, !!!! In the 25 years I have been flying in EVERY instance I was cleared to land by a controller in a tight spacing situation the call from the tower to the preceding plane was " N12345 exit runway as soon as possible, landing aircraft on a 1/2 mile final behind you" Jay stated there was no communication from that tower to the offending aircraft stopped on the runway. So, my question to you ,almighty controller, Isn't the tower operator responsible for the traffic on 'HIS" runway? A simple one word answer will do. YES or NO ? I can't wait to see how you will spin this one. GGGGG |
