Go around? Simple!

Turn on all your lights and dump fuel until you have 3% left. Retract everything you've extended (gear/airbrakes/flaps) and go full throttle. Wait for some speed and do a nice half loop. After completing the half loop keep flying inverted for a bit. You could also do one or two aeleron rolls, just for show-off purposes. When the runway is somewhat behind you again, cut the throttle (if the plane allows it you could even apply reverse throttle) set full flaps and airbrakes and extend gear. Also open all cabin and cargo doors. Do another half loop and slam the plane onto the runway. Try to get rid of all the empty bottles before the FFA agents enter the cockpit.  ;)

You think forgetting the flaps is funny, my first landing in FS9 in a 737-400, I forgot the landings gear D'OH.  :o I landed OK but the plane was shaking violently and the reverse thrusters weren't going out. Then I put it on spot view and saw what happened..OOPS!!!  8-) Ah, I also forgot to cut the throttle (it was on full, who knows why) and I was wondering why I wasn't descending to I applied spoilers but I ended up running off the end of the runway anyways. I have NO IDEA how I did not see the throttle was on full. Maybe I was tired. If I become a real life pilot, I'm gonna need to drink some coffee before I go flyin eh? :-?
