For the pilots on this forum, is it possible that a sudden shift in wind or change in the weather could cause them to abort the approach to come in from another direction?
My guess would be unstable approach or traffic, wind was kicking up in a crosswind too at that time. Looks like they only had about 3 miles to get established on final which is more than doable, but not ideal nor typical for an approach on 35L.
