What are the missed approach procedures while on a visual approach following vectors
A couple of weeks ago AIN publisched their weekly safety question:
What are the missed approach procedures while on a visual approach following vectors to the ILS?
You are being vectored for an ILS approach when ATC asks if you have the airport in sight. After confirming the field is in sight, ATC clears you for a visual approach to the same runway. The approach later becomes unstable and you initiate a go-around. Which of the following is correct?
Your vote was recorded.
CHOICES
Answer B is correct.
There are no missed approach instructions for a visual approach unless a published visual approach procedure exists for the particular runway. If you are cleared for a visual approach, it does not mean that you are cleared to fly the missed approach procedure associated with that runway’s ILS approach. The correct course of action is to advise ATC of your go-around, then fly the missed approach instructions per ATC.
Here's how others answered:
A. Fly the published missed approach for the ILS approach for which you were vectored.
55% (1302 votes)
B. Ask ATC for missed approach instructions.
24% (560 votes)
C. Fly the lateral path only as published for the ILS procedure, but maintain pattern altitude and remain clear of clouds.
9% (221 votes)
D. None of the above is correct.
12% (291 votes)
TOTAL VOTES: 2374
I always learned that you are suppose to follow the ILS missed approach but can't find any reference for this. If I look at the fact that 55% of the pilots had this answer wrong I can only assume that some others learned it my way as well.
The weekly question is supplied by Flightsafety international so I guess it's correct but can anybody give me any reference.

No reference, but as you were initially vectored for an ILS, thats what ATC expects. So fly that GA.
When ATIS states "ILS rwy xxx" it's the same for me.
Now, if ATIS/approach only states "rwy xx" in use things are unclear.
Notwithstanding the above, confirmation never hurts.

You're on visual, there is no missed approach for it, period, full stop. In the US anyway, one of the reasons ATC will ask if you have the airport "in sight" is to eliminate the IFR separation standards, of which, one is the miss. If you have to go around, you're not flying a missed approach, you are going around and the tower will have to issue a clearance of instructions.

e. A visual approach is not an IAP and therefore has no missed approach segment. If a go around is necessary for any reason, aircraft operating at controlled airports will be issued an appropriate advisory/clearance/instruction by the tower. At uncontrolled airports, aircraft are expected to remain clear of clouds and complete a landing as soon as possible. If a landing cannot be accomplished, the aircraft is expected to remain clear of clouds and contact ATC as soon as possible for further clearance. Separation from other IFR aircraft will be maintained under these circumstances.
MAP
To add to the confusion / Discussion;
when you are cleared for a visual approach does this cancel your IFR flight plan? If you are still IFR you should fly the IFR MAP.
I have operated into some airfields where once you call visual and request a visual approach they formally cancel IFR.
I would suggest the correct answer depends on whether you are still IFR or not but I would need to do a little more research before posting and opinion about whether being cleared for a visual approach cancels IFR or not.

After a little bit or research I believe that although you have been cleared for a visual approach you will still be operating IFR and therefore should fly the IFR missed approach procedure. To fly a visual circuit as a missed approach procedure may result in a loss of separation on following IFR traffic.
All IFR approaches are visual from the DA/MDA as is a circling approach and all require the IFR missed approach to be flown if you go missed after DA/MDA. I have regularly nominated joining the visual cct as a missed approach procedure at GA airfields but have always specified this in my R/T with ATC.
To summarise, I would recommend that if you are granted a visual approach confirm if IFR is cancelled and check which missed approach procedure ATC expect with a short concise and unambiguous R/T call.
Keep it clear and coordinated and do not clutter the radio.

A visual approach is an IFR manoeuvre in which part or all of the instrument approach procedure is flown with visual references.
There are no missed approach procedures for it therefore when conducting a go around from a visual approach ( or preferably prior to accepting one) you should agree the procedure with ATC as I'm sure they will have an expectation from you. Doesn't really matter what you do as long as it is safe and practical based on conditions.

"A visual approach is an IFR manoeuvre in which part or all of the instrument approach procedure is flown with visual references."
This is correct. For an IFR aircraft cleared for a visual approach there is no authorization to fly any missed approach segment that is published for the advertised approach or other IFR approach associated with the landing runway. It is good operating practice and common SOP requirement to monitor any available electronic guidance that is available for the landing runway. This reduces incidents of runway misidentification and aids in unstablized approach avoidance. However, in the event of a go-around some modern FMS systems will sequence flight guidance to the MAP when TOGA is engaged and AutoPilot coupling has been accomplshed so caution is advised.
In the event of a go-around from a visual approach it is common to remain in the pattern for landing. In the event this is deemed undesirable by ATC or aircrew, the arrival aircraft maybe issued alternative missed approach instructions and return to the IFR environment for resequencing.
Acceptance of a visual approach clearance in no way affects an IFR aircraft's flight plan status.

Good God, pilots over think this and make it more than it is. "XXX, on the go, request closed?" TWR can say, L(R) Closed approved, report base" OR, they can say, Contact departure on XXX.xx for sequence". You call departure, they put you back in the queue for a visual. If you're at a busy radar terminal, expect the latter; quiet tower field in Podunk, the former. Done both. It isn't more complicated than flying the plane, children of the magenta line.

Reference from the U.S. Controller's Handbook, 7110.65V
(On a barely related note, when I started in ATC it was 7110.65B, and really WAS a handbook, not a four inch stack of lawyer-speak)
7−4−1. VISUAL APPROACH
A visual approach is an ATC authorization for an
aircraft on an IFR flight plan to proceed visually to the
airport of intended landing; it is not an instrument
approach procedure. Also, there is no missed
approach segment. An aircraft unable to complete a
visual approach must be handled as any go-around
and appropriate separation must be provided.

3 months ago was inbound to land in Teterboro
ATIS reported Ils 19 circle 24
Upon intercept LOC/GS for 19 and start my descent the tower ask me start make left turn for visual 24.
Because we were to close to the runway I did a miss.
As soon I told the tower they give me a heading and altitude and departure
Frequency.

The tower is the one to decided when start make the turn for the circle.
And because they were very busy (using 24 for the take off and landing)
I was to low and to close for execute the circle,so I decided to go around

@deefer dog
I never said that I was cleared for the circle.
The tower "continue the approach,I call your turn"
Again the tower was metering between one plane just landed,the one give the clear for take off and myself.
I guess you never land in KTEB. I suggest if you go
Expect always something new.

I circled twice there this month, one planned for and the second (at night) when the controller asked if we could switch runways. Both non events.
ATC at TEB know what they are doing and most of the time there are aircraft departing off one runway and landing on another.
You stated very clearly in your first post:
Seems to me that you were expected to circle, but you didn't. That's why the controller asked you to start your turn.

Dear deefer dog.
I didn't go in details about the approach because this thread is about the missed approach and I wanted to share that in a controlled airport is the tower have the ultimate decision (no emergency).
Now since you want give some flying lesson,this what happen.
New York approach (126.7) told us "heading 160,maintain 2000' intercept the localizer, Rwy 19 you're cleared for the approach. We did that.
Few seconds later the approach told us "maintain 170 kts until Tuggz,at Tuggz
contact the tower 119.5".
Upon reaching Tuggz we called the tower in the meantime we put the SF2 and gear down and continue on the GS/LOC.we start reducing speed at Vapp.
The tower reply "CONTINUE THE APPROACH I WILL CALL YOUR TURN"
Now what you will have done different?
If you noticed I never got the clear to land,because one airplane just landed and another was ready to line up.
And yes 99% of the time they using one runway for take off and the other for landing,
no that day,they use only runway 24.
Also you should know that never use Rwy 19 for take off

Whatever, not that I've ever heard "I will call your turn" from a controller. How could he possibly know if you are inside your circling radii or below the circling minima for your type?
You survived anyway...that's all that really matters!
