To capture the missed approach course, you must fly to what point and have which mode armed?

• A. Fly to the missed approach point and ensure NAV mode is armed.
• B. Fly to the runway threshold and NAV disarmed.
• C. Fly to the VOR station and APR mode armed.
• D. Fly to the altitude preselect and NAV mode armed.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is what happens at the point where you must decide whether to continue the approach or go missed. To actually follow the published missed-approach path, you must reach the missed-approach point and have NAV mode armed so the flight guidance will track the missed-approach course automatically. The missed-approach point is the defined location in the procedure, not necessarily the runway threshold, and NAV mode is what steers you along the navigation course once you’re there. Arming other modes (like APR) or disarming NAV would not reliably capture and fly the missed-approach course.
