Question of aborted landing after instrument approach

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? - FChE I don't think that is what you meant to say. When you're at the FAF you are tracking to the MAP. |
