Narrative:
Go around at 1800 ft MSL on ILS runway 8L atl. On ILS runway 8L approach to atl, at approximately 1800 ft MSL, atl tower told us to go around due to traffic ahead of us had slowed, and we were at our minimum approach speed of 139 KTS and ATC tower said this wasn't going to work (assuming the aircraft had slowed too much ahead of us) and atl tower probably didn't have the separation they needed. So they gave us go around instructions and we came back around for the approach to runway 8L again, and landed.

Narrative: GAR AT 1800 FT MSL ON ILS RWY 8L ATL. ON ILS RWY 8L APCH TO ATL, AT APPROX 1800 FT MSL, ATL TWR TOLD US TO GO AROUND DUE TO TFC AHEAD OF US HAD SLOWED, AND WE WERE AT OUR MINIMUM APCH SPD OF 139 KTS AND ATC TWR SAID THIS WASN'T GOING TO WORK (ASSUMING THE ACFT HAD SLOWED TOO MUCH AHEAD OF US) AND ATL TWR PROBABLY DIDN'T HAVE THE SEPARATION THEY NEEDED. SO THEY GAVE US GAR INSTRUCTIONS AND WE CAME BACK AROUND FOR THE APCH TO RWY 8L AGAIN, AND LANDED.
