missed approach segment

missed approach segment

That part of an instrument approach procedure between the missed approach point (MAP), the missed approach waypoint (MAWP), or the point of arrival at the decision height and the specified missed approach NAVAID (navigational aid), intersection, fix, or waypoint, as appropriate, at the minimum IFR (instrument flight rules) altitude. It is in the part of the approach procedure that the aircraft climbs and returns to the en route structure or is positioned for holding or subsequent approach. The route of flight and altitudes are depicted on instrument approach charts. See missed approach phases.
