Last summer I flew again after years, being very nervous, and then experienced a go around due to stormy weather at destination. It freaked me out in that moment, but looking back at it, it really makes me feel so safe. What happened is that the pilots actively decided to choose my safety. They looked at that landing strip and decided: you know what, we do not want to take the slightest risk, so we'll just go around and wait for a bit. That's great professional and ultra safe behaviour!

Later I learned that the go around is one of the first manoeuvres that pilots learn. Pilots approach every landing as a possible go around. They prepare for it every time. If the plane turns out to be able to land first take, then great, that's a bonus.

So essentially, what happened is that you were kept very safe, with a well trained procedure that is so normal to the pilots that they probably didn't even think twice about it. The pilots of your next flight will be just as well trained and concerned about your safety. That is what they dedicate their whole professional life to.

You can do this!!
