form. Since the execution of a missed approach occurs when the flight deck workload is at a maximum, the procedure should be studied and mastered before beginning the approach. When a MAP is initiated, a climb pitch attitude should ... appropriate heading, advise ATC that a missed approach is being executed, and request further clearances. If the missed approach is initiated prior to reaching the MAP, unless otherwise cleared by ATC, continue to fly the IAP as specified…
