Typically this is solved as follows (e.g. is a CAT 3A autoland with 50ft
DH):
Approach: Captain is pilot flying (PF) through autopilots. F/O is
monitoring on instruments.
At minima CAT 3A:
Captain decision to land: captain lands through autopilots.
Captain decision to go around: captain goes around through autopilots.
F/O call to go around: captain goes around through autopilots.
F/O calls "Go around" twice, if no reaction from captain: F/O goes around
due to captain incapacitation.
The F/O (monitoring pilot) can not take the decision to land, as he must
remain inside (scanning the instruments) at all times. When time permits
the F/O will call his reason for the go around: example "Excessive LOC, go
around." On many occasions, the captain does not know why the F/O calls "Go
around", but he can figure this out after the missed approach and at safe
altitude. Certainly not at the minima.
During go around, one of the calls by the pilot flying is:
"Tune radio's for missed approach".
The monitoring pilot then sets and calls out the selections as briefed
before:
example: "Huldenberg NAV 1, Brussels NAV 2".
