SMAC287 Beyond the IFR Checkride, Part 2

Welcome to episode 287. In this episode, we continue our series of IFR questions that started in Part 1, episode 245, and discuss a few questions many have discussed online:

“If I go around below MDA, am I in protected airspace?”
“Is there a “non-protected side” of a holding pattern?”
“The Missed Approach Point doesn’t mean you can land from there!”

We answer these questions coming up next.
