Human Factors; Procedure
Student Pilot on Final Approach was on approach ATC informed Mooney if they had me in sight. Mooney answer he did not; until I was over the numbers in a stable configuration to land. Mooney acknowledges he has visual on me; as I am about to flare to touch wheels down ATC calls in to Go around if able. Thinking the faster more powerful Mooney is barreling down behind me; I acknowledged the Go Around. As I am climbing out; I noticed a shadow beside mine very close and realized the Mooney was also climbing beside me. ATC advised me to steer right and money to steer left I called in on the climb to ATC to advice what turn to make and was advised to make a right downwind after entering traffic pattern right. I also overheard ATC instruct Mooney to enter Left Down wind. As I made my right crosswind turn; I observed Mooney also turning right and about to face my general direction so I called back into tower and advised I will be making a left turn instead. Now facing the southeast; ATC called in to ask if I were flying South East and Why; Advised ATC that I was Avoiding traffic from MOONEY to maintain separation. ATC advised to go to left downwind after instruction the Mooney to do the same again but this time cross-field and was given the instruction to land on Runway 31 and hold short of runway 27. I continued to identify to ATC that I am a student Pilot on a solo but was confident I could pull the crosswind landing and hold short as the distance to 27 was at the top of my cleared runway assignment. I felt; as a student Pilot; ATC should have instructed the Mooney to go around or do a 360 on approach to same given runway to gain more separation.
C172 student pilot reported a near midair collision with a Mooney while on final approach and go-around.
