Terminal procedures for an ILS approach, including Missed Approach instructions (highlighted in red). Missed approach is a procedure followed by a pilot when an instrument approach cannot be completed to a full-stop landing. [1] The instructions for the missed approach may be assigned by air traffic control (ATC) prior to the clearance for the ...
Initiation of a go-around may be either ordered by air traffic control (normally the local or tower controller in a controlled field) or initiated by the pilot in command of the aircraft for a variety of reasons, such as an unstabilised approach, improperly executed landing ("bounce"), mechanical issue, sudden wind change, unsafe flight condition, or traffic on the runway.
A concept related to the missed approach point is the visual descent point (VDP).Determination of its location is done by the designers of the instrument approach procedure, but typically this is a point on the final approach course of a non-precision approach, from which the aircraft would be able to continue its descent from the MDA to the runway threshold while maintaining a standard 3 ...
A takeoff/go-around switch (TO/GA; / ˈ t oʊ ɡ ə /) is a switch on the autothrottle of modern large aircraft, with two modes: takeoff (TO) and go-around (GA). The mode is dependent on the phase of flight; usually, on approach to land, the autopilot will be set to approach mode, therefore if the TO/GA switch is pressed it will activate the go-around mode of the autothrottle (about 90–92% ...
Practicing instrument approaches can be done either in the instrument meteorological conditions or in visual meteorological conditions – in the latter case, a safety pilot is required so that the pilot practicing instrument approaches can wear a view-limiting device which restricts his field of view to the instrument panel. A safety pilot's ...
The captain is believed to have become disoriented with respect to the approach lights and attempted a go-around, but the aircraft climbed to the point of causing a stall and crashed into a hangar, killing 1 and injuring 6 on the ground.

An onboard navigation system displays a constant rate descent path to minimums. The VNAV path is computed using aircraft performance, approach constraints, weather data, and aircraft weight. The approach path is computed from the top of descent point to the end of descent waypoint, which is typically the runway or missed approach point. [1]
