Question for you experienced types out there.....
If you have a thunderstorm cell on a pre-defined missed approach path but nothing on the actual approach itself, would it be permissable to go for landing knowing that if you had to do a missed approach you would end up very close to or under an active cell?
The reason I ask is I see major airports have pre defined missed approach procedures, can these be altered suddenly if you actually had to go around to avoid weather, or are they set in stone?
