After a missed approach, where should the Missed Approach be written?

• A. In the aircraft's flight plan.
• B. Under the approach name.
• C. In the SPA.
• D. In the data block header.

Answer: (B)

When you document an instrument approach, the Missed Approach should be placed with the approach data so it stays clearly tied to that specific approach. Writing it under the approach name keeps the missed procedure right where the pilot and controller will look for the steps if the approach cannot be completed, ensuring quick access and no confusion about which procedure to follow.

Placing the Missed Approach in the aircraft’s flight plan separates it from the approach itself and can lead to the wrong or forgotten procedure during critical moments. The SPA (whatever that field represents in this context) isn’t intended for the procedural steps of an approach, and the data block header is just metadata, not the detailed actions of the missed procedure. Therefore, the correct placement is directly under the approach name so it travels with the approach description.
