Flight Crew Executed Go Around / Missed Approach
Human Factors
CLT Tower was trying to allow aircraft to takeoff with minimum spacing between landing aircraft. They cleared a Dash 8 for take off in front of us. He would have still been on the runway when we touched down. We went around at approximately 100-200 FT AGL. We had an uneventful go around; and came back for another approach. I have done quite a few go around's in CLT where the Tower controllers misjudge the spacing between aircraft. This happens way too often and it causes a lot of wasted fuel for the airline. It creates a stressful and unsafe operation.
CLT Air Carrier arrival initiated a go around on short final when departing traffic became a factor; the reporter claiming CLT Tower controllers frequently misjudge arrival/departure separation requirements.
