But here's one for you: KSFF ILS/DME 21R. If one makes the missed
approach left turn before DME 0.7, one might hit that wee 4500-footer
hill directly south of the airport.

I don't see how that would be a problem. The missed is only 10
degrees off your inbound course.

That's ten degrees in *heading*, off of an inbound course that had
navigational guidance. Add some north wind, a late climb, sloppy
heading control, and some bad luck, and *bang*. Plus it's not just
obstructions. In airport-dense areas, I would imagine one might
trespass on others' airspace by such shenanigans.

Come to think of it, what is the earliest point along the approach
that you would consider it legitimate to turn toward the MAP? If
in your mind, that's the FAF, why?
