IFR Question #1
You are doing multiple approaches at an airport.
You are on the published missed which has you hold at a FIX at 4000 feet.
The IAF of your next approach is the same FIX, but your outbound (PT) altitude is only 3000 feet.
If ATC clears you for the next approach while climbing through 1000' enroute to the FIX, are you still expected to climb to 4000 feet (the hold altitude)?
If not, how do you plan the climb (Reduce climb rate to hit 3000' vs. Level out when you reach 3000'?)
IFR Question #2:
You are vectored to the localizer, but the controller says "Cleared for the ILS 31 Approach" (didn't say "straight in").
Can you assume that you are cleared straight in, since you were vectored to the localizer (not to the IAF).?
