Interesting.

Whenever I have done practice approaches, when asked 'How will this
approach terminate' I reply 'Missed approach'. To which ATC will
usually say 'Fly heading xxx on the missed approach' or 'Expect
missed approach directions from the towe'

Maybe what is meant is that flying the PUBLISHED missed is not
authorized for VFR practice approaches???


Order JO7110.65 states:

"VFR aircraft are not automatically authorized to execute the missed
approach procedure. This authorization must be specifically requested by the
pilot and approved by the controller. When a missed approach has been
approved, separation shall be provided throughout the missed approach."

I think the note is just a poorly-worded reminder of that..
