Surely the issue is more that they decided to make so many attempts to land local. There should be a max level of attempts.

- jacquesm 1y agoThere is a lot of pressure on pilots to land local. But 3 go-arounds happens, not often, but it does.
- ktallett 1y agoPerhaps that decision needs to be removed from the airline and there needs to be an independent decision maker there.
- jacquesm 1y agoPilots are ultimately responsible for the aircraft, that's pretty much set in stone but if ATC would tell them to divert they would unless there already was an emergency.
- kqr 1y agoThere is a max level, and it is three.
- ktallett 1y agoWell clearly that number should depend on distance to next airport and how much fuel is onboard. It isn't sensible to have a set number when other parameters change.
