Upon reaching the DA/DH, immediately initiate the missed approach procedures if the required visual references for the runway are not distinctly visible and identifiable (or if in a seaplane); or transition to a normal landing approach only when the aircraft is in a position from which a descent to a landing on the runway can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal maneuvering.
Bottom line
A maneuver conducted by a pilot when an instrument approach cannot be completed to a landing. A point prescribed in each instrument approach at which a missed approach procedure shall be executed if the required visual reference has not been established.
