The ILS missed, but I just read your original thread. So long as I have comms, I will do whatever the tower tells me to do.

Going around on a visual without comms seems to be a real gray area though. I understand your point, I am cleared for the visual which does not have a published missed approach procedure, so its anybody's guess as to where my rogue airplane is going.

I don't like the idea of blindly crossing the departure path of an active runway, nor do I fancy the thought of 'fitting myself in' to downwind at a big hub. Especially during a mass arrival.

I'm curious as to what the group consensus is going to be here.
