Do charted visual approaches have a published Missed Approach Procedure?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only for certain airports
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (B)

Visual approaches are meant to be flown with the runway in sight under conditions that support visual flight, and they provide routing guidance to the airport without relying on instrument navigation to land. A Missed Approach Procedure is a specific, published path you must follow when an instrument approach cannot be completed to land. Since charted visual approaches are not instrument approaches, they do not publish a Missed Approach Procedure on the chart. If a go-around becomes necessary, you follow standard go-around procedures and ATC instructions, or you switch to a different instrument approach that does have a published missed approach. So, there is no published Missed Approach Procedure for a charted visual approach.
