Human Factors; Procedure
Tower sent us around on short final to Runway 10. We received instructions to climb to 4;000 feet. After passing the VOR we were instructed to turn right and proceed direct to the VOR for the ILS 2 Runway 10. As we approach the VOR we were then instructed to enter the holding pattern. The pattern was not showing on the FMS presentation so we attempted to call it up. I flew the approximate ground track but was unable to get the pattern up. We executed the approach after crossing the VOR again and the landing was uneventful. Avoid automation dependency. All I needed to do was to fly the holding pattern on raw data and we would have no problem. From now on I will have the VOR tuned; the PFD in the RMI mode and the green bearing showing and if necessary; just fly the pattern or procedures the old fashion way. I got lost in the magenta fog; never again.
Air Carrier Captain; on short final to MNMG; was issued a go around by the Tower then issued holding instructions at the MGA VOR which the reporter was not prepared to fly. He stated automation dependency was a factor.
