Go-around to a FL instead of altitude when terrrain issues
Hello,

I was just wondering why as an example a missed approach is flown to a flightlevel(FL) in for example Salzburg?

Wouldn't it be better to fly to a certain altitude based on QNH to always insure terrain clearance?

Missed approach to a FL, as in this case surrounded by high terrain and mountains just doesn't make sense.

thanks.
