Anyone have a tally on the Missed Approaches and Go Arounds from today? Just me being curious..
 
Weather was horrible and at or below mins all day and they had major spacing issues. At one point they had 9
Missed approaches in a row for runway 4 and I went around twice for spacing issues.
 
Training in progress? Or more likely, (this is 100000000% pure speculation and 90% just a joke as I have zero knowledge of anything going on there) NY Tracon was trying to make a point to management about one of the many stupid rules that have been implemented the last few months.
 
Saw a United 737 come about 5 seconds from going around on short final last night in newark due to spacing. Additionally, controllers were not handing out speed reductions and the guy behind us had 100 knots on us when we were passing 1000 feet.

Nasty night.

It's one thing to cancel speed reductions when it's perfect VFR and you're the lead of the pack (thanks Regional for the hustle yesterday)...but that just makes me go "eek".

New York does that a lot at EWR, ram aircraft down their throat and when everyone starts slowing down, BOOM not enough room. I have been #1 for takeoff in EWR a number of times when tower has sent every other aircraft on the approach around, even on visuals. What sucks even more then is that departures can't go because they give runway heading for the missed.

Maybe you shouldn't throw the gear at a 15 mile final, train. :)
