Narrative:

I was landing runway 4R at mdw. Winds on the surface were 140 degrees at 14 KTS. The tower cleared us to land. There was a saab airliner in position on the runway. Acso, another airliner was crossing runway 4R on the far end. As we approached the runway, I decided to go around due to traffic on the runway. The controller gave us a left turn to 250 degrees. I began a turn when my copilot said 'right, right, right turn.' I then made a right turn. ATC said everything worked out, but I was reminded how much work is involved in a simple procedure.

Title: ACFT ON APCH TO MDW EXECUTES GAR, BECAUSE OF TFC ON RWY.

Narrative: I WAS LNDG RWY 4R AT MDW. WINDS ON THE SURFACE WERE 140 DEGS AT 14 KTS. THE TWR CLRED US TO LAND. THERE WAS A SAAB AIRLINER IN POS ON THE RWY. ACSO, ANOTHER AIRLINER WAS XING RWY 4R ON THE FAR END. AS WE APCHED THE RWY, I DECIDED TO GO AROUND DUE TO TFC ON THE RWY. THE CTLR GAVE US A L TURN TO 250 DEGS. I BEGAN A TURN WHEN MY COPLT SAID 'R, R, R TURN.' I THEN MADE A R TURN. ATC SAID EVERYTHING WORKED OUT, BUT I WAS REMINDED HOW MUCH WORK IS INVOLVED IN A SIMPLE PROC.
