STUDENT PLT WITH FLT INSTRUCTOR ARE CHASTISED BY THE CTLR FOR MAKING A MISSED APCH INSTEAD OF A TOUCH-AND-GO AS CLRED.

Narrative

WE HAD REQUESTED A TOUCH-AND-GO TO BE FOLLOWED BY AN IFR CLRNC BACK INTO FPR; WHICH WAS GRANTED. HOWEVER; WHILE ON THE APCH; THE STUDENT GOT BEHIND ACFT. AS A RESULT; THE ACFT WAS AT AN ALT ROUGHLY 500 FT AGL AND WITHIN .5 NM OF THE RWY. FURTHERMORE; THE LNDG CHKLIST HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED WHICH RESULTED IN THE LNDG GEAR NOT EXTENDED. NEVERTHELESS; AT THIS POINT I ADVISED THE STUDENT; AS HIS INSTRUCTOR AND PNF; THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND WE WERE TOO HIGH. THE STUDENT RESPONDED BY GOING MISSED. MY STUDENT FLEW THE MISSED; BASED ON THE AMENDED MISSED INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN; WHICH WERE TO FLY RWY HDG AND CLB AND MAINTAIN 1500 FT AND NO TURNS WERE MADE BEFORE THE MISSED APCH POINT; YET NONE WERE NECESSARY. I IMMEDIATELY ADVISED THE LCL CTLR THAT WE WERE GOING AROUND. THE CTLR RESPONDED IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER BY ASKING ME THE REASON FOR THE GAR. AT THIS POINT; MY STUDENT AND I WERE GOING THROUGH THE GAR CHKLIST AND I RESPONDED BY TELLING HIM THAT THIS WAS 'A TRAINING FLT AND THE GEAR IS NOT DOWN.' HE INSTANTANEOUSLY; AGAIN IN A CONTINUED HOSTILE MANNER; QUESTIONED MY DECISION AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO DO THE TOUCH-AND-GO BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HE CLRED ME FOR AND HE WAS 'COUNTING ON' MY TOUCH-AND-GO FOR IFR SPACING. HE TOLD ME THAT I COULD ONLY MAKE SUCH A DECISION FOR AN EMER OR FOR A TECHNICAL PROB AND MY DECISION CAN BE CONSIDERED A 'VIOLATION.' HE ASKED IF I HAD EITHER OF THESE AND I RESPONDED WITH A NEGATIVE. MY STUDENT AND I MADE A DECISION TO GO AROUND BASED ON A FEW REASONS. HOWEVER; IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY I KEPT THE CONVERSATION BTWN THE CTLR AND I TO A MINIMUM AND APOLOGIZED.
