Was a passenger non stop Seoul to Houston. Descended in a major storm. Very rough. Pilot bounced once and gunned that sucker for a go around. I wanted to get home after 20 hours in the air but was happy he decided to try again.

The pilot on our flight into Colorado springs a couple years ago did 4 on that one flight. Rare fog set in and he was trying to catch a hole in the fog. I asked him how low we were and he said 50' and could not see the runway.

This one just didn’t make sense to me and reason for OP. Delta pilot landing at the home base is as routine as it gets, or at least I would think. Weather was perfect, maybe a slight crosswind, no clouds in sky, but he’s multiple hundred feet above my mark of all other planes on the glide path for final. I couldn’t see any obstruction on runway as he continued approach, but he was still way high and you could see the throttle applied with plume out of the engines as he initiated the go around at <1000’ altitude. Just curious how that occurs if there was no impedance on runway and ATC didn’t call him off

In 35 years of commercial flying I’ve done maybe 3 or 4 with one being my fault for not meeting the stabilized approach criteria.

Spacing which was either the fault of the controller, other pilot, and an external factor out of everyone's control. Most of the time a non student pilot won't just screw the approach so bad that they have to do a go around. The only time I can remember is I had a Fed Ex 757 coming in for a full stop and weather was clear and zero traffic was at the airfield and requested a missed approach. He didn't say why ,but I guess it was probably even for training. I had a 737 in Iraq do a missed approach with no traffic, but they did have crosswinds though it wasn't too bad it is could be considered weather.

I’ve made that flight and similar where you’re in the air for around 24 hours or more with layovers.. and holy ish, would i be pissed to make it all that way- only to crash in freaking Houston…. I would wake up in Hell bitching and complaining to Satan about that one .

Flying over 200 flights a year its happened. Can think of Boston 1 in 1 out pilot came into outgoing traffic, FT Walton Beach AF F22 Pilot had seizure on takeoff, we were way under 500FT aggressive bank up flight attendant was sick, John Wayne 2x due to Santa Anna Cross winds finally diverted to LAX, Victoria Falls Zim, night time and runway lights were out...that was fun...SHV bird hit on attempted landed, LGG due to weather down n up back to DFW...Baltimore to Newark that was one in early 90s the pilot shook everybodys hand leaving the plane it was that bad...those are the easy ones to remember.

and that's what I meant, initiating an approach with the mindset that there's only one possible outcome is a huge mistake

Damn curse of the OT. Been riding commercial for work for 30 years and never had it happen. Saw this thread and just had a go around at ATL because there was another plane on the runway. Pilot gave it the juice too. Was kind of fun.
