Thank you very much again for the great advice!! i just read on an FAAsafety course that a missed approach must be started when:
* The aircraft is being operated below MDA;
* Upon arrival at the MAP; or
* Whenever an identifiable part of the airport is not distinctly visible when circling.
Let's assume that on a VOR-A approach, I level off at MDA and dip below MDA. I recognize this right away and instead of trying to get back to MDA I tell the examiner, I just dipped below MDA I am going to execute the missed. That is, I fly to the MAP and make the turn and climb etc...Would this cause me to still save the checkride or would dipping below the MDA (regardless of the fact I recognized it and execute the missed) cause me to fail? Thanks!
