For the ILS into Sarasota, above, there's an alternate missed approach procedure published.

Procedure Briefings: Every published instrument procedure has some common elements you need to learn about. It's best to know them before you need them

That is also answered in 5-421.h.: "If unable to contact ATC, and in the pilot's judgment it is no longer appropriate to fly the published missed approach procedure, then consider either maintaining visual conditions if practicable and reattempt a landing, or a circle-climb over the airport."

CIRCLING UNCERTAINTY: Missing from a circling approach can leave you in limbo, but ATC and the AIM can help get you back on track to a safe missed approach

A holding fix for the alternate missed approach procedure is printed on the IAP chart.

The Alternate Missed: The alternate holding fix is depicted on the approach plate but the procedure won't be in your GPS database. Instead, you'll find it in a Notam

Perhaps it involves trimming for the approach and not the miss, failure to set climb power or a reluctance to climb away from the runway we wanted to land on--or some combination--but many pilots seem to motor off along something resembling the missed approach procedure without really climbing as they should.

Missing The miss: Accidents occurring during missed approaches reveal instrument pilots still need to work on preventing spatial disorientation and loss of control

But, if you are just a little patient and wait until you're on the missed approach procedure, you can easily fly the same approach again, load another approach at the same airport, or even load an approach at a different airport.

Multiple approaches

Flying in IMC at 120 knots indicated, Diane had to arrest her descent, initiate a climb, reconfigure the airplane (gear up, flaps up) and navigate to the first fix of the missed approach procedure. All in IMC with zero visibility.

Zero-Zero departures: After the first 200 feet, they're usually no different from a missed approach

The alternate missed approach holding point is based on a different navaid, and has an entire alternate missed approach procedure, which is only available to pilots through ATC or NOTAM.

Gone to the dogs

When it became obvious to the pilot--if it ever did--that the approach wasn't going to work, executing the missed approach procedure would have been a good choice, also.

Behind the airplane: trying to salvage a late approach clearance or bad vector can be a recipe for losing control

* Missed Approach procedure (course, altitude, and fix)

Put it together: DIY SOP

Whether you're flying an RNAV/ GPS approach or using an IFR approach-certified GPS to supplement ground-based approach navigation such as an ILS, chances .are you'll use it for guidance when you need to fly a missed approach procedure. Assuming you've set it up properly, your GPS will track and guide your progress down the final approach course to the missed approach point (MAP).

Keeping me in suspense: by design, an IFR-certified GPS won't navigate you to a missed approach point without intervention. here's why, and how to fly the miss

Fly the ILS and you can load the ILS Rwy 11 into the GPS for assistance and for flying the missed approach procedure.

Charting two for one

Near Lake Placid, N.Y., the problem involved programming the box during the missed approach procedure, which resulted in a CFIT.
