The two questions you asked we're

1) " Why not land off the first attempt given that FFR already compromised?

2) Why risk a flameout on a second approach?

Then you deliberately baited as to why I hadn't yet answered you, just so you are kept in the loop the answers are below, do you need directions?

ANSWER 1) FUEL STATE ON FIRST APPROACH WAS NOT QUITE AT FFR, so your assertion is blatantly false!

ANSWER 2) FLAMEOUT IS NOT A RISK RIGHT DOWN TO UNUSABLE AT NORMAL ATTITUDES, provided SOP's are followed. Suggest you read certification requirements.

Do you know what SOP's are, or do I have to spell it to you?

Questions answered?
