Go arounds are not failures.
- bluGill 1y agoThey are expected situations, but still a failure of the original plan.
- jacquesm 1y agoThey are not a failure of the original plan, they are a mandatory component of the original plan that if everything is nominal never gets executed. Every pilot on approach is ready for one or even more go-arounds and they happen quite frequently for a variety of reasons. They happen a few hundred times per day at ~100 k flights.
