This does bring up all sorts of issues, especially the guidance for immediate climb when you dont know where you are?!?!
What does it say about the Missed Approach Point? On an instrument approach, does it say you should, or you SHALL use MAPt as the beginning of a Missed Approach?
How many Missed Approach Points are shown on the plate?
Where does a missed approach procedure and guidance begin? Does it begin just after the the FAF, or just anyplace on the glideslope? It begins at the MAPt. The plates are very clear when you begin climb. Not before, not after. If you need to climb after, you are out of the parameters of the prescribed missed approach procedure.
Bloggs, even at the all hallowed MEL, there have been many incidents where the ac on GA have encrouched on ac on DEP from RW16. I suppose you dont remember the 744 on DEP from RW16, and the 322 that was on final to RW16, did a GA and ran up the backside of the 744? (This is why many plates worldwide, have you turn before the end of the runway)
MEL has crossing procedures that are perpendicular to RW16/34. GA, and simply pull up may also cause a conflict and loss of sep.
As search of the library with incidents involving departing aircraft with aircraft on GA shows over 300 reported loss of seperation incidents since 2000.
This is the benefit of having a coded missed approach, everything has been sorted out. There are no coded missed approach tracks that begin anywhere other that the DA/MDA. You want to go missed, you engage, it will track the ac down to the waypoint, and begin the missed approach procedure, just like anyone should when deciding to go missed. Pull up and pray when you dont know where you are?
