Just out of interest, when were you expecting an announcement?
The announcement came a good 5 minutes after the missed approach, by which time we'd levelled out and were banking back for the second approach. Given the potential for concern amongst the passengers I would have thought that even a brief announcement by a cabin crew member explaining that the captain had decided to have another approach would have put peoples' minds at rest. I realise that under the circumstances the flight deck crew have more critical things to deal with than making passenger announcements.
