However, he didn't get fully stabilised for the landing and so performed a go-around. Basically the SOPs at MyTravel require that the aircraft is fully configured (gear down & full flaps) with the engine thrust stable (not idle) by 500ft above the airfield in visual conditions and 1000ft in instrument conditions (i.e. in cloud). Obviously the flying Pilot didn't feel that the approach was stable and took the correct action to go-around. The flew a nice visual circuit to a good landing again on the same runway!
