    Overview flight go-arounds

    This presentation from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) explains what flight go-arounds are and how often they occur. A go-around happens when a pilot or air traffic controller decides it is not safe to land, due to factors like bad weather or aircraft spacing issues, and the plane must circle back for another attempt. SEA's go-around rate averages about 0.4% of all arrivals, closely matching the 0.39% national average reported by the FAA across 30 major U.S. airports.
