Pull-ups were pretty common for me when I was a toddler; I wore them all the time! And today: I'm a big boy now!

Honestly a go-around, or missed approach in instrument conditions/approaches, can be initiated at any time the pilot flying, pilot not flying, or controller deems necessary and are ALWAYS done for the safety of the operation.

GA/MP's are common and well practiced procedures and are nothing out of the ordinary for pilot or controller. Published missed approach procedures can be rather complicated sometimes but that's why forward planning is essential.

It was drilled into me early, especially in non-precision instrument approaches, that if it doesn't seem right hit the reset button (or turn the power off, pull the cartridge out and blow, then turn the Nintendo back on) and try it again.
