Question
what are the procedures for missed approach?
Zeneba
A missed approach is excactly that, it is a point in space where a decision is made to continue the approach and landing (have the runway or landing envoionment in site) or make a missed approach. Each Instrument landing procedure has a missed approach procedure for that approach and airport, laid out using the TERPS manual. for example: a typical ILS Straight in approach,the missed approach point would be on glideslope, at the decision height. The missed approach is very specific on angles, climb gradients and altitudes that must be observed during the missed approach.
I cannot answer you exactly unless you had given me a specific approach to apply it to. Hope this helps
