Narrative:
The captain was flying the approach. The approach was briefed prior to descent. Mia WX was VFR, there were thunderstorms in the area. We were on vectors to the ILS runway 9R. Mia approach had slowed us to follow an ATR. According to TCASII, we were a little more than 2 mi behind the ATR. We did not report the ATR in sight to approach or the tower. After being turned over to tower, I slowed to approach speed. The tower cleared the ATR to land and requested that they expedite the approach and clearing the runway. We were cleared to land runway 9R hold short of runway 12. The ATR missed the turnoff and tower told us to go around. During our go around, the first officer asked the tower for go around instructions. The tower gave us runway heading, maintain 3000 ft, and we complied. The go around, vectors for a second approach and landing on runway 9R occurred without incident. In reviewing the previous events rather than requesting go around instructions from the tower I think I should have flown the special go around procedure for runway 9L hold short of runway 12, thus avoiding the possibility of any unnecessary confusion with the tower. A more thorough approach briefing by me would have facilitated this.

Title: B727 ISSUED GAR WHEN ACFT PRECEDING DOESN'T CLR RWY. PLT QUESTIONS SPACING ON APCH AND MISSED APCH PROC WHEN CLRED TO HOLD SHORT OF XING RWY.
Narrative: THE CAPT WAS FLYING THE APCH. THE APCH WAS BRIEFED PRIOR TO DSCNT. MIA WX WAS VFR, THERE WERE TSTMS IN THE AREA. WE WERE ON VECTORS TO THE ILS RWY 9R. MIA APCH HAD SLOWED US TO FOLLOW AN ATR. ACCORDING TO TCASII, WE WERE A LITTLE MORE THAN 2 MI BEHIND THE ATR. WE DID NOT RPT THE ATR IN SIGHT TO APCH OR THE TWR. AFTER BEING TURNED OVER TO TWR, I SLOWED TO APCH SPD. THE TWR CLRED THE ATR TO LAND AND REQUESTED THAT THEY EXPEDITE THE APCH AND CLRING THE RWY. WE WERE CLRED TO LAND RWY 9R HOLD SHORT OF RWY 12. THE ATR MISSED THE TURNOFF AND TWR TOLD US TO GO AROUND. DURING OUR GAR, THE FO ASKED THE TWR FOR GAR INSTRUCTIONS. THE TWR GAVE US RWY HDG, MAINTAIN 3000 FT, AND WE COMPLIED. THE GAR, VECTORS FOR A SECOND APCH AND LNDG ON RWY 9R OCCURRED WITHOUT INCIDENT. IN REVIEWING THE PREVIOUS EVENTS RATHER THAN REQUESTING GAR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TWR I THINK I SHOULD HAVE FLOWN THE SPECIAL GAR PROC FOR RWY 9L HOLD SHORT OF RWY 12, THUS AVOIDING THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY UNNECESSARY CONFUSION WITH THE TWR. A MORE THOROUGH APCH BRIEFING BY ME WOULD HAVE FACILITATED THIS.
