Attention:
- Research a mishap case study:
- Discuss how the initial conditions developed into an incident/accident/mishap
- Relate similar personal experience of the same type of incident/accident/mishap
Motivator:
- When a landing cannot be accomplished, following an instrument approach, pilots execute what is called the missed approach procedure
- Executed once the missed approach criteria have been met, pilots are expected to fly in accordance with their missed approach clearance
- Compliance with instructions will ensure obstacle clearance
- It is important that both pilots and air traffic control understand their responsibilities to avoid making common errors

Instrument Rating - Missed Approach Lesson Plan:
- Objective: To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with performing a missed approach procedure solely by reference to instruments
- References: 14 CFR parts 91, 97; AIM; FAA-H-8083-2 (Risk Management Handbook), FAA-H-8083-3 (Airplane Flying Handbook), FAA-H-8083-15, FAA-H-8083-16, FAA-H-8083-25 (Pilot Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge); Terminal Procedures Publications
Instrument Rating - Missed Approach Knowledge:
The applicant demonstrates understanding of:Instrument Rating - Missed Approach Risk Management:
The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:-
IR.VI.C.R1:
Deviations from prescribed procedures or ATC instructions -
IR.VI.C.R2:
Holding, diverting, or electing to fly the approach again -
IR.VI.C.R3:
Aircraft configuration during an approach and missed approach -
IR.VI.C.R4:
Factors that might lead to executing a missed approach procedure before the MAP or to a go-around below DA, DH, or MDA, as applicable
Instrument Rating - Missed Approach Skills:
The applicant exhibits the skill to:-
IR.VI.C.S1:
Promptly initiate the missed approach procedure and report it to ATC -
IR.VI.C.S2:
Apply the appropriate power setting for the flight condition and establish a pitch attitude necessary to obtain the desired performance -
IR.VI.C.S3:
Configure the airplane in accordance with airplane manufacturer’s instructions, establish a positive rate of climb, and accelerate to the appropriate airspeed, ±10 knots -
IR.VI.C.S4:
Follow the recommended checklist items appropriate to the missed approach/go-around procedure -
IR.VI.C.S5:
Comply with the published or alternate missed approach procedure -
IR.VI.C.S6:
Advise ATC or the evaluator if unable to comply with a clearance, restriction, or climb gradient -
IR.VI.C.S7:
Maintain the recommended airspeed ±10 knots; heading, course, or bearing ±10° and altitude(s) ±100 feet during the missed approach procedure -
IR.VI.C.S9:
Use single-pilot resource management (SRM) or crew resource management (CRM), as appropriate -
IR.VI.C.S10:
Request ATC clearance to attempt another approach, proceed to the alternate airport, holding fix, or other clearance limit, as appropriate, or as directed by the evaluator
