A go around is done to wave off a bad or ill-advised landing
The procedure involves safely transitioning the plane from a descent into a maximum performance climb
What is a go-around flight?
A go around is simply an aborted landing attempt
Instead of continuing the approach and landing, the pilot adds full takeoff power, retracts the flaps slowly, and establishes a climb back to a safe altitude
Go-arounds are done all the time, and they are routine flight maneuvers
What is a Go-Around Procedure?
Why do pilots use a go-around?
Primarily, there are a few reasons why a go-around is engaged by the pilots: 1
Weather The number one and the most common reason is the weather, according to Flight Safety Foundation, which released a toolkit named Approach and Landing Accident Reduction, designed to reduce the number of various incidents during landing and take-off procedures
An aborted landing of an aircraft
In aviation, a go-around is an aborted landing of an aircraft that is on final approach or has already touched down. A go-around can either be initiated by the pilot flying or requested by air traffic control for various reasons, such as an unstabilized approach or an obstruction on the runway.

2007 plane crash in Phuket, Thailand
One-Two-GO Airlines Flight 269 (OG269) was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Bangkok to Phuket, Thailand. On 16 September 2007, about 15:41 ICT, the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 operating the flight crashed into an embankment beside runway 27 at Phuket International Airport (HKT) bursting into flames upon impact during an attempted go-around after an aborted landing, killing 90 of the 130 persons on board. It is the third deadliest aviation incident to occur in Thailand.
In aviation, a touch-and-go landing (TGL) or circuit is a maneuver that is common when learning to fly a fixed-wing aircraft. It involves landing on a runway and taking off again without coming to a full stop. Usually the pilot then circles the airport in a defined pattern known as a circuit and repeats the maneuver. This allows many landings to be practiced in a short time.
