Narrative:
While on a practice VOR approach, I did not have visibility contact with runway at MDA. Instead of executing proper missed approach, I used the IFR departure procedure for that airport. I do not know why I certainly knew better. I was tired, returned late at night from previous day's flight and arose early for this practice flight. My approach plate briefing was interrupted. Somehow my mind 'short-circuited' to the IFR departure procedure.

Narrative: WHILE ON A PRACTICE VOR APCH, I DID NOT HAVE VIS CONTACT WITH RWY AT MDA. INSTEAD OF EXECUTING PROPER MISSED APCH, I USED THE IFR DEP PROC FOR THAT ARPT. I DO NOT KNOW WHY I CERTAINLY KNEW BETTER. I WAS TIRED, RETURNED LATE AT NIGHT FROM PREVIOUS DAY'S FLT AND AROSE EARLY FOR THIS PRACTICE FLT. MY APCH PLATE BRIEFING WAS INTERRUPTED. SOMEHOW MY MIND 'SHORT-CIRCUITED' TO THE IFR DEP PROC.
