go-arounds
Aborted landing repeats
Go-arounds are encounters or rounds of dealing with something, especially conflicts or repeated attempts: After several go-arounds with the insurance company, she finally got reimbursed.
In aviation, a go-around is an aborted landing where the pilot pulls up and circles to try again.
The word implies cycling back through something rather than resolving it on the first pass.
