Visual is the same missed approach in Europe and most places in the world. FAA land apparently its different.

Now the screw ups that can happen during the missed approach are various and not related to aircraft type.

If you say have a straight ahead climbing then after a certain alt turn back towards a beacon/fix which you pass during going straight ahead you will have problems if you have tried to fly in LNAV the climb. What happens is that as soon as the plane passes the beacon it thinks the procedure is finished with and gives up.

Next one is in high performance aircraft and the beacon is close behind you and the turn altitude is lowish it will start turning at the alt. Because you will still be close to the beacon the aircraft will never be able to get its nose pointing at the fix so you will end up circling it at max bank for the autopilot.

That's the most common gotcha's, Simple solution is just to stay in heading mode until your a decent distance away then give it a turn back towards the beacon.
