Many professional pilots have fallen into this trap. Case in point was the pilot for the President of Poland. He crashed on his ninth attempted approach. Target/goal fixation is a killer in this business.

My personal rule is that after the first approach, if I can not figure out what went wrong, I go with a new game plan. A different approach or more likely a different airport.
