Jet Aircraft Handling During Approach & Landing

Hi,

It seems it’s difficult to handle (to reduce the speed and altitude) jet aircraft during approach and landing.

a) I am wondering if this occurs in all jet aircraft or only certain jet aircraft.

b) What are the causes of this problem besides approach idle (high idle)?

c) Which of two may cause more go-around: difficult handling of aircraft during approach/landing or complying with ATC requests? (If there is conflict between the two)

d) How often pilots perform a go-around?

Feedback appreciated

Regards
