Default Question of aborted landing after instrument approach

It isn't. However, a go-around started in IMC far enough past the
MAP at an airport where the missed approach procedure does not
provide obstacle clearance if it's started past the MAP could
certainly qualify as an emergency for purposes of choosing a course
of action.




Read AIM 5.5.5



I did. Read AIM 5.5.5 (a)(4), which makes my point.

It does? Help me understand your logic.

5.5.5. (a) (4)

4. If executing a missed approach prior to reaching the MAP, fly the
lateral navigation path of the instrument procedure to the MAP. Climb to
the altitude specified in the missed approach procedure, except when a
maximum altitude is specified between the final approach fix (FAF) and
the MAP. In that case, comply with the maximum altitude restriction.
Note, this may require a continued descent on the final approach.
