General statistics
Before detailing the results of the survey, the BEA estimated the number of go-arounds performed by a pilot during his/her career, based on the figures communicated by Air France and those supplied by the main European airports. In general, these showed:
� Between 2 and 4 go-arounds per one thousand flights are recorded each year
� A medium-haul flight crew performs on average one go-around a year
� A long-haul flight crew performs on average one go-around every 5 to 10 years."
