I am a multi-engine instrument rated pilot and the only time I have done misses is during a missed instrument approach.

I know - there's many rationalizations, justifications and arguments. Not trying to pick a fight - just pointing out some issues with the practice of this maneuver. Power pilots deliberately practice "missed approach" with no intention of landing on the first pass all the time. |

I don't see much difference between them in terms of an intention to land. |

As for the intention to land you are correct. Although on more than one occasion, on a touch-n-go I have been asked to make it a full stop, kind of late in the landing phase. The worst (while off subject) was being asked to abort a takeoff at rotation in a CE 340, I asked if I was on fire, tower said no, and I aborted takeoff anyway, barely got it stopped. Turns out they wanted to change my IFR clearance for a vastly different, non preferred route. When they said I was not on fire, I should have continued T/O. |
