If a missed approach is initiated prior to reaching the MAPt, at what altitude/height shall the aircraft overfly the MAPt?
  • A
    An any altitude/height equal to or greater than that required by the procedure.
  • B
    It must overfly the MAPt at the corresponding approach altitude/height minima.
  • C
    A turn towards the IAF can be initiated without overflying the MAPt.
  • D
    Initiation of the missed approach before the MAPt is prohibited.

ICAO Doc 8168
Chapter 6 MISSED APPROACH SEGMENT

6.1.4 It is expected that the pilot will fly the missed approach procedure as published. If a missed approach is initiated before arriving at the missed approach point (MAPt), the pilot will normally proceed to the MAPt (or to the middle marker fix or specified DME distance for precision approach procedures) and then follow the missed approach procedure in order to remain within the protected airspace.

Note 1.— This does not preclude flying over the MAPt at an altitude/height greater than that required by the procedure.
