/ A IR WAYS /
Go-around surprise
Technology has made the IFR miss a thing of the past-almost
BY J. MAC MCCLELLAN
ILLUSTRATION BY SARAH HANSON
I HAVEN' T MISSED an IFR approach-except in annual simulator
training-in many years. To put it mildly, I was more than a
little surprised when the alert flashed, and the computer voice
called minimums and all my co-pilot and I could see was the
inside of a cloud.
I'm not bragging about my flying skills, just being reminded
how several technological developments over the past 20 to 30
years have made the approach miss rare, and thus even more surprising
and demanding for pilots.
The most obvious instrument approach technology advance
has been GPS-based RNAV approaches, particularly the LPV
(localizer performance with vertical guidance). I can't think of
an airport I've been to in years that doesn't have at least one
LPV approach.
With the precision of an ILS or an LPV we have perfect
straight-in guidance all the way to the runway touchdown zone.

AOPA PILOT / April 2023
Gone are the days of crossing a fix, starting a clock, and using estimated
(guessed, really) ground speed to fly to a missed approach
point on a course that usually wasn't aligned with the runway. A
miss back then was hardly a surprise.
Another reasonably new technology that is almost universal
is installation of good automatic flight guidance/flight control
equipment in our airplanes. With the autopilot flying, or a competent
pilot following the commands of the flight director, it's
now routine to perfectly track the lateral and glidepath guidance
to the runway.
And then there's synthetic vision. The many of us blessed with
this technology not only see the left-right, up-down guidance on
the primary flight display, we also see a picture of the runway
ahead. And the flight path marker that displays our path through
space is smack on the runway touchdown aiming point. Hold that
flight path and you can't miss the centerline.
