How about: Unsafe gear indication, HSI/CDI failure during approach, not aligned with runway on break-out, proverbial school bus blocking runway, or weather going to 0/0 during approach?
1. Gear goes down at the OM. If I dont get three green then I dont continue the approach. In addition, I was taught if you lose an engine to test your sole hydraulic pump by placing the gear in the up position and let the handle reset prior to the approach.
2. HSI/CDI failure? Go to the backup.
3. Not aligned? Taxi or sod.
4. Bus? What is a school bus doing on 28L?
5. o/o. If there is any chance of it going 0/0 then you shoot your approach somewhere else.
But what do I know?
