1. Knows missed approach procedures and chart interpretation
2.

An aircraft must not descend below the MDH until visual reference is obtained, which differs from a DH in that an aircraft may descend below DH without visual reference so long as the missed approach procedure was initiated at or prior to the DH.

The pilot may climb immediately to the altitude specified in the missed approach procedure.

Missed approach point (MAP). A point prescribed in each instrument approach at which a missed approach procedure shall be executed if the required visual reference has not been established.
Mixed ice. A mixture of clear ice and rime ice.

The point on a published ILS approach expressed in time or distance from the final approach fix, or as an altitude on the glideslope, at which the missed approach procedure must be initiated if the runway or approach lights are not clearly in sight.

APPROACH POINT (MAP) - A point during an instrument approach procedure at which, if the visual reference to continue the approach does not exist (i.e., the pilot cannot see the runway or visual guidance to the runway), a missed approach procedure ...

the approaches must be carried at least through the so-called critical elements. This could include conducting the approach to a landing, to the minimum altitude and\or missed approach point, or through the approved missed approach procedure." ...
