The information I had stated that the crew flew multiple approaches. Here in the US, a majority of the instrument approach accidents, do not happen on the first approach.

Instrument approaches are high stress and high work load. Each approach tires the pilot both mentally and physically. As the pilot tires, it becomes more and more likely the pilot will make an error.
