Narrative:

Descent into myr, we were slam dunked into myr, cleared from 11000 ft to 3000 ft. Controller attempted to clear us for a visual with a scattered to broken layer between us and the airport. ATC called traffic at our 10 O'clock position, then cleared to 1600 ft. We were about 6 NM from airport at about 230 KTS. We were unable to slow down and get down. We went around at about 2 mi from airport to an uneventful landing. Corrective actions: try to slow first to get down, ask ATC for lower altitude sooner. Keep better track of position while being distraction looking for traffic and airport, to get in a position for a stabilized approach.

Title: A CL65 PIC PERFORMS GAR WHEN UNABLE TO COMPLETE A VISUAL APCH TO MYR, SC.

Narrative: DSCNT INTO MYR, WE WERE SLAM DUNKED INTO MYR, CLRED FROM 11000 FT TO 3000 FT. CTLR ATTEMPTED TO CLR US FOR A VISUAL WITH A SCATTERED TO BROKEN LAYER BTWN US AND THE ARPT. ATC CALLED TFC AT OUR 10 O'CLOCK POS, THEN CLRED TO 1600 FT. WE WERE ABOUT 6 NM FROM ARPT AT ABOUT 230 KTS. WE WERE UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET DOWN. WE WENT AROUND AT ABOUT 2 MI FROM ARPT TO AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: TRY TO SLOW FIRST TO GET DOWN, ASK ATC FOR LOWER ALT SOONER. KEEP BETTER TRACK OF POS WHILE BEING DISTR LOOKING FOR TFC AND ARPT, TO GET IN A POS FOR A STABILIZED APCH.
