Default Question of aborted landing after instrument approach

It does? Help me understand your logic.



One doesn't just "fly the missed approach" regardless of where on the
approach one is when they decide to miss. That was the flip answer
given by the spammer. One must modify one's procedure depending on
circumstances. 5.5.5.a4 gives one example - fly the lateral approach
path while (usually) climbing, but don't actually fly the missed
approach path until the MAP. This is an example of flying "what it
takes" to put you on the missed approach path.


The thread started about missing the approach below MDA, which
presumably would be beyond the missed approach point. Without a margin
of performance that could become problematic. (As do many ODPs that
have climb gradient requirements much steeper than a missed approach
commenced at MDA and at the MAP.

The language you cite is for someone who decides to miss well prior to
the MAP. The guidance you cite in that instance is in no way
improvising, but is what the criteria protects for by default.
