Indeed not Galdri, and I’m sure the beancounters hate it too, Galdri what equipment do you fly? is it the 752 for icelandair? and any idea how much a routine go-around costs your airline?

True, the beancounters do not like go-arounds either, they might actually like them even less than the pilots! 😮 :diablo: I’m on the B737 with Air Atlanta Icelandic at the moment, but for how long is open to debate, as the airline has announced it’s plans to retire them all before next october. However, they seem to be getting rid of them a lot faster than initially planned 😮

As for the question about the costs of go-arounds, I’ve to admit, that I’ve never seen such a figure. If we are only talking about a go-around that would resault in a traffic pattern and a landing at the original destination, I do’nt think the cost would be too great. On the 73 only about, say, 1000kg of fuel, plus the extra, say, 10 min flying time (depending on location of course).
