Pain of Going Around

This evening I was approaching towards Mumbai (Vabb)
It’s a very busy evening with lots of traffic
Approach did a pretty great job
However I think the person in the tower need some training, I can’t remember the name, but he made me go around twice.

He told me to go around when I was just 100ft or less than that, above the ground

I don’t understand the logic when I was almost touching down why, immediate takeoff clearance
Twice in a row , why ?
What’s the desparation.

1st attempt

2nd attempt

Finally touching down

If you think I’m complaining
It’s totally upto you, how you take things

I was the only one who was go arounds
I was trying to land almost for an hour.

If you see traffic on the runway that hasn’t cleared the runway and you’re too close (about 1 mile out), go around. Don’t wait for tower to tell you

My god that’s so close, was this on the ES as I find that hard to believe. If it was TS then you have your problem, everyone is learning so it’s a server to train in hence the name. You almost landed on top of the guy. If this was irl there would be a big investigation going on right now.

At that point I would just divert honestly

I did called for diversion
But I thought why not try again
So I landed after 3 attempts

But why , immediate takeoff clearance when I was arriving.
When someone is holding short for 90 seconds, he could easily wait for 10 seconds more

Well that seems a bit wrong to me? 3 go arounds and soo close??? Probably because of heavy traffic since VABB is world’s busiest single runway airport

It’s on Expert,
That’s why I was furious

Dash - 8 was even closer
It might not look so, maybe because of the size

The heavy traffic was cleared
But the irony is I was the only one doing that

It’s looking like he was sitting on the violation button
Looks like,He was just waiting for me
I make a wrong move drive by frustration and booomm ,“out of the server”

I’m sorry that the service you received was not satisfactory. The best thing to do would be to reach out to the controller and see their point of view, as often when it gets very busy, it can get confusing for the controllers. Cheers!

In my opinion it seems like he was waiting for me to make a wrong move and kick me out of the server

I’m sure that wasn’t the case. Please contact them for their POV, or if you feel so strongly you can message a sup.

They are trying their best though, trust me. Controlling is hard, especially when there are dozens of aircraft!
