Interesting track - seems like a circle to land, followed by a missed, followed by a short approach for the 2nd shot???
Maybe, or one approach broken off early, one missed, and then one close in pattern to touchdown??
I plotted the Flightaware times on the map and as far as I can tell they did a big lazy orbit at high altitude over the area, then did one proper straight-in approach, missed approach at the charted Mapt then did another proper instrument approach. All looks "proper" from what I can see from Flightaware (notwithstanding the cloud and Cat D operation...). No pirouettes or low-level wiffodils...
