WTF? Are you even a pilot? For info the poster who was agreeing with you earlier in the thread isn't one.
I have done the research in as far as reading the regs - I did that even before I posted here. Which was why I asked - in my very first post - was there something I had missed.
The answer, as it turned out, is no.
Rubbish. Of course you are legally required to climb. Look up missed approach climb gradients.
You also go on to say you can discontinue a missed approach and conduct a visual approach. Look up the IFR requirements for visual approaches.
You say this is a purely academic argument. But then you contradict yourself and say that ATOs and instructors are promoting this in practice.
I seriously doubt that. If that's true then the industry is in more trouble than I imagined.
