Not having a go, genuinely interested in this new (to me) idea.
We do have a ‘discontinued approach’ procedure in the books, which is used when a G/A is required during earlier stages of the approach, close below or above the missed approach altitude and far away from the MAPt.
Involves leveling of in ALT mode and climbing or descending to the missed approach altitude in Level change or V/S etc.
Safe to say that procedure doesn’t apply to this incident by the way
