Correct terminology - "Go Missed" or "Begin the Missed Approach"

midlifeflyer:
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Re-reading that post now, it's easy to see how one might interpret that underline as special emphasis! I meant to convey only the idea that the reason could be stated there. During the initial "missed approach" call seems like an awkward time to go into laborious detail, so you fill in the blank with whatever you feel is called for. Please keep it short if it is ASE, EGE or any busy frequency! I think the intent of the guidance on this is to aid the controller, and by extention any following aircraft.

Slang is used by a majority of people in everyday life. Most of us understand what message is intended when it is used. UndauntedFlyer has simply pointed out one example of how people tend to stray away from defined aviation terminology over time by adding slang to our lexicon. I'm sure I am guilty of some infractions too. While this example of aviation slang is not that likely to be misunderstood, some others might be. Just something to consider.

Best,

I am mostly talking in the cockpit briefing or even just during ground discussion talk about approach procedures.

Ah.

I never get to talk to anybody much when I'm flying, so usually when I'm discussing the Missed Approach Procedure with myself during the briefing, there's usually a little voice that breaks in and says something like, "...that won't end well, especially if you have to make all those turns and stuff..."

Just kidding.

I try to keep it classy by saying "Should we miss...". And it's never "Climb checklist", it's always "checklist for climb, please". I saw it in a movie once ("checklist for lightspeed...") and thought it sounded cool. I frequently say "very well". It adds a classy nautical flair to the operation. Guaranteed, in five years, it'll be in the pilot/controller glossary right next to "roger". You heard it hear first...

but the emphasis suggests that the reason is of equal or even more importance that the simple notification that you are executing the missed.

I don't care much about the reason, unless it's something completely unexpected. If the weather's been crappy, and it's just above minimums, or below if you're Part 91, and you miss, I'll pretty much assume weather. If it's something completely unexpected, like a brushfire upwind of the numbers that's obscuring the runway, or you didn't get three greens on your gear, please say so. More important (at least to me) on a routine missed approach is your intentions, if you know right away what you want to do: "Center, XYZ123, missed approach, we'd like to hold for 15 minutes and see if the weather comes up" or "missed approach, we'd like to divert to ABC".

The term "go missed" is just a carry over of high school "teen talk," or "valley girl" talk, or so it seems.

and this is so mature....

The E-type ratings that had been self awarded on this Board are now "V" virtual type ratings.

The E-CFI is still the same.

I guess you have a point. But it does show that I like to enjoy life with a little humor. Are you interested in a V-rating or an E-CFI? You never know when these ratings will pay off. Probably never but I do enjoy both the humor and the dream of it.

Just messing with ya.

UndauntedFlyer,

I am new to this message board, so please forgive my ignorance. You seem to be pretty full of yourself. Not sure if that is the intent or not. If I am going missed, which in 17 years has only happened maybe 5 times, I am saying whatever comes out of my mouth. It might be "oh f***, go missed" or "g** D***it, I really gotta take a piss". I dont think I have ever said "golly wow my co-pilot buddy, but I dont have the runway environment insight, therefore I think we need to executed the published missed approach procedure".

*** also you have listed all the big airplanes and motorcylce in general. Why not say airplanes and Honda Goldwing, YZ250, HD Fat Boy etc?
