Our unit's feelings is that a person may go-around as many times as is
required to perform a safe landing by exercising good judgement. If a poor
approach is flown, then this event will most likely be marked down to
reflect the below standard approach.

Hi gang,
Yesterday in a CRM refresher class I was asking the students why a
co-pilot would not tell the other pilot to go-around from a poor final
approach. One of the answers I got was "we are allowed only one
go-around."
Explanation: When a pilot is receiving a flight check, he is allowed
to take himself around on the first attempt at landing. If his second
attempt at landing results in a go-around, he fails the landing skill
portion
of the evaluation.
How many "go-arounds" do the flying organizations on this net allow?
Is this really a hidden signal to the pilots? Should this really be the
excuse for allowing a poor final approach to continue through to a failed
landing?
Tell me it ain't so!
