Having thought about this I am now convinced that the missed approach should be stopped at 1400' which is the 25nm safe altitude. This gives 1000' plus seperation from other aircraft which may be commencing the procedure at 3000' over the VOR. The climb to 3000' continues at the 10dme fix thus giving lateral seperation from other traffic.

I think Canuck that separation is the responsibility of th procedure designer in a non radar environment.

In this case, if I am correct, the wording of the missed approach either by the designer or by Jepps if they have altered it is very dangerous. Something like "climb to and maintain 1400' until reaching the 10dme fix" would be less ambiguous.

Everyone who expressed a preference on this thread interpreted the dangerous option I believe.

Any comments?
