So I was doing a relocation flight from EGKK to EGLL and the controller at EGLL cleared me to enter right base of runway (pic 1) but didn’t give me clearance to land. From what I get in the guide, ATC is supposed to give a clearance aftarwards, but I didn’t see anything in regards to going around, which you are supposed to do IRL. So I told the ATC that I was on final, but they didn’t seem to get the message because of their reply (pic 2). I know that IRL, you’re supposed to initiate go-around, but I wasn’t too sure since the reasons for a go-around in the guide didn’t seem to include “no clearance”. So if this happens again, what are some other ways I can inform the ATC that I wasn’t cleared? Also, is “not getting cleared” a valid reason for a go-around? Lastly, as sort of an extension, if I encounter other situations where the guide is unclear about what I should do, should I just stick to what they do IRL?
Hey there!
Was this on Training Server or Expert Server?

Okay! The current controller at EGLL is @SLMJ (who’s been there for the past 1.5h) - so I suggest you reach out to them and explain the situation. They’ve been tagged so they will hopefully see this.

Thanks, I’ve already sent them a message to explain what has happened.
