It's about being in a commercial airliner when they abort a landing.
Had it happen once, and as we powered up for the go-around at DFW my
reaction was "Hmph. How 'bout that."
Didn't realize some folks might freak at such an incident.

"In fact, go-arounds are fairly common and seldom the result of

In general, a good general-consumer column without too much jargon.
IMHO it's a good idea now and then to mention an aviation subject in
an educational article free from sensationalism or disaster
references.


"Ask the pilot" has long been a fairly level-headed column.
