When reaching the missed approach point a pilot should contact ATC and wait for further instructions before beginning the missed approach.

Question

This question centers on the procedure at the missed approach point (MAP).
First, recall that at the MAP you must decide whether a landing is possible as published. If you do not have the necessary visual references to continue to a safe landing, you must execute the published missed approach procedure immediately rather than delaying.
Option evaluation:
- The statement says: contact ATC and wait for further instructions before beginning the missed approach. This implies delaying the initiation of the missed approach until after ATC instructs you, which is not how the standard missed approach is conducted. The aircraft should not wait for external instruction to start the maneuver when the runway is not in sight or when landing cannot be completed safely; delay could result in violating the procedure or terrain/obstacle clearance.
- In practice, the correct action is to initiate the missed approach at the MAP if the required conditions to land are not met. After starting the missed approach, you can then comply with ATC instructions and communicate as appropriate.
- Why this is wrong: waiting for ATC before starting introduces a potential hazard by delaying the maneuver and could lead to an unsafe flight path or violation of the published procedure. It also contradicts standard operating procedures that emphasize executing the missed approach promptly when the landing cannot be ensured.
- Why this is not true simply because ATC is not involved: ATC contact is still required in flight, but it happens after or during the execution of the missed approach, not as a prerequisite to initiating it.
In summary, the assertion that one should contact ATC and wait for instructions before beginning the missed approach is incorrect because the pilot must initiate the missed approach immediately at the MAP when a safe landing cannot be assured, and ATC coordination follows or occurs concurrently, not beforehand.
