I am a humble SLF.

While go-arounds happen, and may be routine, almost, I can't help feeling that the frequency with which they occur at some airport is worrying. Now, Dublin is nothing like as frequent as Heathrow but to a passenger even one occurrence is one too many (I've done 4).

There are some that it is arguable are unavoidable - low visibility approaches spring to mind. But to operate the system at a rate which means that one small error/slow clearance causes a go-around is something that you all need to think about.

Is it really acceptable that you simply accept go-arounds?
