When should you provide a Missed Approach Review and MAP/Climbout instructions?

When should you provide a Missed Approach Review and MAP/Climbout instructions?

• A. After you slow to configure aircraft and Before Landing Checklist.
• B. Before descent.
• C. After landing.
• D. At the start of climb.

Answer: (A)

The Missed Approach Review and MAP/Climbout instructions are most effectively briefed while you’re still on the approach, after you’ve slowed to the approach configuration and before you run through the Landing Checklist. This timing lines up the plan with the current phase of flight so you know exactly what to do if you don’t make the landing: you’re ready to execute the missed approach immediately at the MAP or DA, with the initial climb instructions already clear. If you wait until after landing, or start climb actions without having reviewed the plan, you risk confusion or delay when a missed approach becomes necessary.
