Which in my opinion is incorrect.
I never argued that a visual has a “missed approach” published.
In fact that is my biggest objection with accepting “visual” approaches.
Being in a high workload phase of flight, close to the ground with rapid decisions to be made is NOT the right time to be wondering which way you need to go.
I’m not talking about a fixed gear piston single that requires 2 min to climb to 1000’ and even then is only just barely at the end of the runway.
Thanks for the clarification on which particular part of Check Airman's post you were responding to, and so my response assuming you were talking about visuals was off the mark. And I disagree with him in that the published missed should be briefed (if there's any chance you will be cleared for the ILS) even though it probably won't be flown.

But if the lack of predetermined instructions is reason for you to object to visuals, then by that same reason you should also be objecting to ILS'es, since you are virtually guaranteed to get tower instructions for those too.
