called a missed approach in perfect weather at noon on a sunny day

Weather is the least of the reasons for calling a missed approach. A colleague of mine was on a flight where the captain called a missed approach because someone drove a truck onto the runway.

I’ve experienced three

Once the runway wasn’t clear. Pilot said there was a plane that took a little too much time to take off as he was landing, the other time due a ridiculously low ceiling in foggy conditions at MSY.

Not sure why this one happened, pilot just apolgized for the missed approach, hard landing too.
