In aviation, go-around means: A manoeuvre in which the pilots stop an approach, add power and climb away instead of landing, usually to try again or to go to another airport.
In Turkish: pas geçme
How it is used
A normal, trained manoeuvre, not a failure. Reasons include an unstable approach, a blocked runway, wind shear or poor visibility. A typical callout is 'Go around, flaps!', and ATC may instruct 'Fastair 345, go around'.
Example sentences
We made a go-around because a vehicle was on the runway.
After the go-around, ATC gave us vectors for a second approach.
Common collocations
make a go-around
initiate a go-around
