July 25, 201114 yr Is there any way to request another IAP approach if you missed the first one or were told to go around? I can only see the request vectors and request visual, and when I chose visual RC insisted on vectoring me anyways.
July 25, 201114 yr Moderator Hi andqui,The IAP option will not be available after you have accepted RC vectors. You get the one opportunity only.Neither will it be available after a go-around. You'll have to go with the vectors provided by the controller. Ray (Cheshire, England).

July 25, 201114 yr Author On pg 59 of the manual, it says that after I go around and achieve positive rate, the tower will hand me off to approach, which will ask for my intentions. It then says that I can ask for vector approach, hold as published, delay vectors, IAP approach, and proceed to alternate. I don't seem to have these choices.In my experience, I get handed off to approach, who then immediately tells me to expect vectors, without giving me another option. I can only say yes or ask him to repeat. Once I say yes, I'm forced to follow vectors. That's not how it's described in the manual. Why the discrepancy?thanks
July 25, 201114 yr Moderator We tested this many years ago now and I haven't flown a go-around in ages, sorry. Maybe JD can throw some light on it.I agree that you should be given an IAP option. Perhaps there are different options if you declare a Missed Approach rather than Tower issuing a go-around? Ray (Cheshire, England).
