b. Controller.
1.
Issues an approach clearance based on known
traffic.
2.
Issues an IFR approach clearance only after
the aircraft is established on a segment of published
route or IAP, or assigns an appropriate altitude for the
aircraft to maintain until so established.

5. Missed Approach
a. Pilot.
1.
Executes a missed approach when one of the
following conditions exist:
(a)
Arrival at the Missed Approach
Point (MAP) or the Decision Height (DH) and visual
reference to the runway environment is insufficient to
complete the landing.
(b)
Determines that a safe approach or
landing is not possible (see subparagraph 5
−
4
−
21h).
(c)
Instructed to do so by ATC.
2.
Advises ATC that a missed approach will be
made. Include the reason for the missed approach
unless the missed approach is initiated by ATC.
3.
Complies with the missed approach instruc-
tions for the IAP being executed from the MAP,
unless other missed approach instructions are
specified by ATC.
4.
If executing a missed approach prior to
reaching the MAP, fly the lateral navigation path of
the instrument procedure to the MAP. Climb to the
altitude specified in the missed approach procedure,
except when a maximum altitude is specified
between the final approach fix (FAF) and the MAP. In
that case, comply with the maximum altitude
restriction. Note, this may require a continued
descent on the final approach.
5.
Cold Temperature Airports (CTA) are
designated by a snowflake ICON and temperature in
Celsius (C) that are published in the notes box of the
middle briefing strip on an instrument approach
procedure (IAP). Pilots should apply a cold
temperature correction to the missed approach final
holding altitude when the reported temperature is at
or below the CTA temperature limitation. Pilots must
inform ATC of the correction.

Errors, Setting Procedures, and Cold Temperature Airports (CTA).
6.
Following a missed approach, requests
clearance for specific action; i.e., another approach,
hold for improved conditions, proceed to an alternate
airport, etc.
b. Controller.
1.
Issues an approved alternate missed approach
procedure if it is desired that the pilot execute a
procedure other than as depicted on the instrument
approach chart.
2.
May vector a radar identified aircraft
executing a missed approach when operationally
advantageous to the pilot or the controller.
3.
In response to the pilot’s stated intentions,
issues a clearance to an alternate airport, to a holding
fix, or for reentry into the approach sequence, as
traffic conditions permit.

6. Vectors
a. Pilot.
1.
Promptly complies with headings and
altitudes assigned to you by the controller.
2.
Questions any assigned heading or altitude
believed to be incorrect.
3.
If operating VFR and compliance with any
radar vector or altitude would cause a violation of any
CFR, advises ATC and obtains a revised clearance or
instructions.
b. Controller.
1.
Vectors aircraft in Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class D, and Class E airspace:
(a)
For separation.
(b)
For noise abatement.
(c)
To obtain an operational advantage for the
pilot or controller.
2.
Vectors aircraft in Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, and Class G airspace when
requested by the pilot.
3.
Except where authorized for radar approach-
es, radar departures, special VFR, or when operating
in accordance with vectors below minimum altitude
