A pilot executing a missed approach prior to the Missed Approach Point (MAP) must continue along the final approach to the MAP.
  2. A term used by the pilot to inform ATC that he/she is executing the missed approach.
  3. At locations where ATC radar service is provided, the pilot should conform to radar vectors when provided by ATC in lieu of the published missed approach procedure.
