    Missed approach/go-around operations and how the FAA manages demand

    This FAA presentation, prepared for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Stakeholder Advisory Round Table, explains what missed approaches and go-arounds are and why they occur. A missed approach happens when a pilot cannot safely continue landing due to factors like fog, bad weather, an unstable approach, or an unclear runway, while a go-around is a routine safety maneuver initiated by either the pilot or air traffic control when landing conditions are unsafe. Both procedures result in aircraft climbing away from the airport and potentially flying over nearby communities, contributing to noise impacts in the area.
