Three missed approaches

Follow
flugsnug

All in a days work for these pilots, as they chose to abort the landing procedure before touching down, and to "go around" and try again which they all did without problem on second attempt.
The first two happened on days with quite strong crosswinds, the third on a rainy day with some gusts.
These are all scheduled passenger flights, and the planes are: KLM 737700, Ryanair 737800 and Monarch A321.

The missed approach ("aborted landing" if touchdown has occurred) doesn't happen very often but is a wellpractised and safe process, including climbing back into airspace which is kept clear for just this possibility.
