Missed Approach Point (MAPt)
Missed Approach Point (MAPt) is an Aviation Term defined as: The point in an instrument approach procedure at or before which the prescribed missed approach procedure must be initiated in order to ensure that the ...

 


Missed Approach Segment
This segment begins at the decision height (DH) or at a specific point in non-precision approaches. The chart will show an altitude, direction, and clearance limit. Figure minimum climb of 200' per nautical mile.

MISSED APPROACH - An approach that is not completed with a landing due to lack of visual reference (see MISSED APPROACH POINT), the presence of other aircraft on or too near the runway, ...

Missed Approach (or 'missed'): A documented series of climbs and turns; part of every Approach.

Missed approach - A prescribed procedure to be followed by aircraft that cannot complete an attempted landing at an airport.

Missed Approach
A maneuver conducted by a pilot when an instrument approach cannot be completed to a landing. The route of flight and altitude are shown on instrument approach procedure charts.

Missed Approach: An instrument approach not completed by landing due to: (1) visual contact not established at authorized minimums; or (2) landing not completed due to other reasons; or (3) instructions from air traffic control.

2. A missed approach procedure is initiated.
FINAL APPROACH COURSE- A bearing/radial/track of an instrument approach leading to a runway or an extended runway centerline all without regard to distance.

MAP - missed approach point. The point on a published ILS approach expressed in time or distance from the final approach fix, or as an altitude on the glideslope, ...

Unlike a DA, a missed approach need not be initiated once the aircraft has descended to the MDH, that decision can be deferred to the missed approach point (MAPt).

Decision Height - Height at which a missed approach must be executed if the required visual reference to continue the approach to land has not been established ...

The Middle Marker displays the missed approach point, meaning the aircraft must pull up and try again if the parameters are not in line for a safe landing.

DECISION HEIGHT When flying an aircraft, the height at which a decision must be made during an instrument approach to either continue the approach or to execute a missed approach (abort).

It is normally the missed approach point, where the pilot must decide whether he can land safely. The inner marker is used only on certain approaches. Its light is white, and the tone is a series of Morse dots.
NDB Non-Directional radio Beacon.

DECISION HEIGHT - With respect to the operation of aircraft, the height at which point a decision must be made during an instrument approach to either continue the approach or to execute a missed approach [abort].

With respect to the operation of aircraft, means the height or altitude at which a decision must be made during an ILS, MLS, or PAR instrument approach to either continue the approach or to execute a missed approach.
