I disagree.
After 30 years of Air Traffic Control, I only seen three women who could keep up with the rigorous demands of the job when it comes to decision making under great stress.
They are few, and far in between.

I'm trying to get an idea of when in the landing process that the pilot decides go/no go.

As a retired ABE (catapults and arresting gear type), I've seen thousands of arrested landings on a aircraft carrier.

The process is a bit different since they're trying to snag a wire, but if the pilot isn't with in the parameters they'd get a wave off.

At what point should/would the tower or pilot have realized that he was in trouble? (Hopefully not too late)

Is there a point where a wave off would/should have been advised?

How's that work in civil aviation ?

In your series of how many? Anecdotal evidence doesn’t cut it, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
