The site at the link describes the pilot radioing the tower at Columbia County Airport saying he missed the initial approach, not the final approach, and as such should still have been at altitude and not having ATC trying to warn him about low altitude.

The news story may have it wrong and it wasn't the initial approach that he missed but the final approach, but even then he should have been at altitude, not flying into terrain.

It is just a singular “missed approach”...more info. on the flight/plane:

I learned something new. I didn't know there was an "initial approach" before a "final approach." I thought you just aimed for the landing strip and descended upon it. That unless you aborted for some reason, there was usually only one approach.
