West Coast,

I understand your concerns, but the way we are taught when a pilot reports the airport/runway in sight and is cleared for a visual approach then we expect the pilot to proceed directly to the runway/airport and land.

As stated previously at a towered airport the controllers will issue appropriate instructions in the event a go around is issued or the pilot for some reason elects to miss, so a published procedure isn't required.

If you have some spare time, you can always stop in and talk with the controllers at LAX or the SoCal Tracon and discuss your concerns, or email our National Safety Officer http://www.natca.org
