What Does AOA Stand For?
AOA stands for Abort Once Around
AOA, or Abort Once Around, refers to a flight procedure in which an aircraft that has completed a circular approach around an airport aborts its landing attempt and instead initiates a go-around after one complete circuit. This procedure is typically employed to ensure safety when landing conditions are not optimal, allowing the pilot to reassess the situation before attempting another landing.
