Narrative:
I was on an IFR training flight from bcb to roa for multiple practice approachs. Conditions were VFR. While on ILS runway 33 approach, I descended to minimum decision ht and proceeded inbound. Prior to this, I received missed approach instructions and was cleared for the approach. I was above decision ht 1/2 mi from runway when I declared missed approach. I turned to assigned heading. I was advised by tower that I should have declared missed approach at marker, 1.4 mi from runway. This is not clearly delineated on the approach chart. (I was using a commercial chart ILS runway 33, roa.) this is potentially a dangerous situation and a note should be added to the chart indicating this. Also, the tower controller should point this out to aircraft continuing in to land. No corrective action was required and no danger to planes, pilot or persons occurred.

Title: PIPER PA34 PLT, PRACTICING ILS APCH AT ROA, EXECUTED A MISSED APCH BEYOND THE MISSED APCH POINT DUE TO RPTR'S INTERP OF THE INST APCH PROC CHART.
Narrative: I WAS ON AN IFR TRAINING FLT FROM BCB TO ROA FOR MULTIPLE PRACTICE APCHS. CONDITIONS WERE VFR. WHILE ON ILS RWY 33 APCH, I DSNDED TO MINIMUM DECISION HT AND PROCEEDED INBOUND. PRIOR TO THIS, I RECEIVED MISSED APCH INSTRUCTIONS AND WAS CLRED FOR THE APCH. I WAS ABOVE DECISION HT 1/2 MI FROM RWY WHEN I DECLARED MISSED APCH. I TURNED TO ASSIGNED HDG. I WAS ADVISED BY TWR THAT I SHOULD HAVE DECLARED MISSED APCH AT MARKER, 1.4 MI FROM RWY. THIS IS NOT CLRLY DELINEATED ON THE APCH CHART. (I WAS USING A COMMERCIAL CHART ILS RWY 33, ROA.) THIS IS POTENTIALLY A DANGEROUS SIT AND A NOTE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CHART INDICATING THIS. ALSO, THE TWR CTLR SHOULD POINT THIS OUT TO ACFT CONTINUING IN TO LAND. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS REQUIRED AND NO DANGER TO PLANES, PLT OR PERSONS OCCURRED.
