This study guide contains several scenarios that illustrate the most common types of instrument approach configurations. Common identifiers for a missed approach point include a named waypoint, a DME fix, and a time and speed table. Because each procedure has a unique configuration, the indications and techniques used to identify the missed approach point may be unique as well. How does the pilot know when the aircraft has reached the missed approach point? The pilot must understand the aircraft position relative to the missed approach point while flying each instrument approach procedure. Common locations for a missed approach point include the runway threshold, the primary NAVAID for the approach, and the intersection of the glide slope with the decision altitude. However, only one missed approach point is depicted, and each procedure may have two or three different missed approach points. It is generally located between the final approach fix and the airport. Where is the missed approach point? The profile view depicts the missed approach point as the beginning of a dashed line, as shown above. There are two challenges involved in reading the missed approach point: The missed approach point is the position where the pilot must immediately climb away from the airport if the landing criteria of FAR 91.175(c) are not met. Reading a missed approach procedure is a critical step toward briefing and flying a complete instrument approach to an airport.

Now that I am instructing instrument students, it seems this guide is the best tool for teaching missed approach identification with FAA charts. Study Guide is a list of notes I first developed during instrument-flight-instructor training because I needed a concise explanation of various approach profiles.
