In the event a balked (rejected) landing occurs at a position other than the published missed approach point, the
pilot should contact ATC as soon as possible to obtain an amended clearance. If unable to contact ATC for any
reason, the pilot should attempt to re

intercept a published segment of the missed approach and comply with

route and altitude instructions. If unable to contact ATC, and in the pilot’s judgment it is no longer appropriate
to fly the published missed approach procedure, then consider either maintaining visual conditions if practicable
and reattempt a landing, or a circle

climb over the airport. Should a missed approach become necessary when

operating to an airport that is not served by an operating control tower, continuous contact with an air traffic
facility may not be possible. In this case, the pilot should execute the appropriate go

around/missed approach

procedure without delay and contact ATC when able to do so.

Prior to initiating an instrument approach procedure, the pilot should assess the actions to be taken in the event
of a balked (rejected) landing beyond the missed approach point or below the MDA or DA (H) considering the
anticipated weather conditions and available aircraft performance. 14 CFR 91.175(e) authorizes the pilot to fly
an appropriate missed approach procedure that ensures obstruction clearance, but it does not necessarily consider
separation from other air traffic. The pilot must consider other factors such as the aircraft’s geographical location
with respect to the prescribed missed approach point, direction of flight, and/or minimum turning altitudes in
the prescribed missed approach procedure. The pilot must also consider aircraft performance, visual climb
restrictions, charted obstacles, published obstacle departure procedure, takeoff visual climb requirements as
expressed by nonstandard takeoff minima, other traffic expected to be in the vicinity, or other factors not
specifically expressed by the approach procedures.

22. Use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) on Instrument Approaches

a. Introduction.

 During an instrument approach, an EFVS can enable a pilot to see the approach lights, visual

references associated with the runway environment, and other objects or features that might not be visible using
natural vision alone. An EFVS uses a head

up display (HUD), or an equivalent display that is a head

up

presentation, to combine flight information, flight symbology, navigation guidance, and a real

time image of

the external scene to the pilot. Combining the flight information, navigation guidance, and sensor imagery on
