Question for the gallery-

Refer to the FCI ILS 33 Approach
http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0405/06066I33.PDF

The published missed approach requires tracking to the flatrock VOR (FAK).
For the past few months, the following notam has been published: FAK VOR
067-230 UNUSBL. So basically, you'd need to track an unusable radial
inbound to FAK. There is no additional notam na'ing the approach, or
providing alternate missed approach instructions.

1) Am I correct to assume that it is not legal to accept a clearance to fly
this approach without alternate missed approach instructions?

2) Should a notam be issued to change the missed approach instructions, or
"na" the approach?

Not necessarily. A procedure can be authorized within an area deemed
unusable as long as the flight check pilot confirms that the specific
operation is OK.

Having said that, I'm sure the VA specialist will be checking the
procedure Monday, if they haven't already, just to be sure.
