OK, now you show me any AIP reference that says an IFR aircraft can execute a missed approach from a published approach and transition into a circling approach from below the circling MDA.
Your interpretation of what the AIP 'Doesn't Say' is not good enough. Actual reference required.
Because you never commenced a missed approach?
You are aware thats what 'unless' means right? A missed approach must be conducted unless.. etc.
If I satisfy the requirements stated in para d, then the reg explicitly states that I am not bound to execute the missed approach. I simply must be able to circle at the circling MDA. Clearly I will be operating in a terrain protected area during the entire maneuver.
So in this scenario, I'm not conducting a published missed approach, im simply climbing to my circling MDA.
I ask you again, what is the purpose of para .d? Show me where it would apply to any situation, any scenario, ever? Are you seriously suggesting that they just put in there for laughs?
