Question: what do ATC expect in the event of a Go Around?
There's some confusion amongst the pilots (being a non US carrier we aren't too used to being cleared for visuals). I've heard climb circuit altitude and turn downwind. Correct?
How would ATC handle a request to still follow the published missed approach after being cleared visual? Would they accommodate it?
You will be immediately issued an altitude and heading by tower. A request to fly the ILS published missed is astronomically unlikely to be granted.
