Are you saying that the AIM is telling us to flounder around in the clouds until we make contact with a Center frequency rather than follow the missed approach for the runway we were going to land visually on?
No, what I am telling you is that AIM is telling you to not accept a visual if you are going to flounder around in the clouds.

YOUR scenario is how YOU might choose to fly. Personally, if the conditions are marginal, I will never accept a visual. I have in the past, and no doubt will in the future, told ATC that I am unable to accept the visual.

The question is not about non-tower ops. The questions is about whether it is appropriate to fly an IFR MAP after a Visual approach.
