Narrative:

I was in right traffic for runway 10 at pompano beach airpark and had received a landing clearance from the tower. The tower called traffic Y for me which was also inbound for landing on runway 10. On final, it was evident that spacing between my aircraft X and the other aircraft Y was inadequate. I was instructed by the tower to do a go around. I executed a go around, reentered right traffic for runway 10 and landed. I was instructed by ground control to phone the tower. I phoned the tower and discussed the inadequate spacing between my aircraft X and the other aircraft Y with a member of the tower crew. The conversation was courteous and constructive and focused on the importance of proper radio communications relating to traffic avoidance.

Title: TWO ACFT TOO CLOSE TOGETHER ON FINAL AT PMP RESULTS IN CTLR DIRECTED GO AROUND.

Narrative: I WAS IN R TFC FOR RWY 10 AT POMPANO BEACH AIRPARK AND HAD RECEIVED A LNDG CLRNC FROM THE TWR. THE TWR CALLED TFC Y FOR ME WHICH WAS ALSO INBND FOR LNDG ON RWY 10. ON FINAL, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT SPACING BTWN MY ACFT X AND THE OTHER ACFT Y WAS INADEQUATE. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE TWR TO DO A GO AROUND. I EXECUTED A GO AROUND, REENTERED R TFC FOR RWY 10 AND LANDED. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY GND CTL TO PHONE THE TWR. I PHONED THE TWR AND DISCUSSED THE INADEQUATE SPACING BTWN MY ACFT X AND THE OTHER ACFT Y WITH A MEMBER OF THE TWR CREW.
