Thanks for joining NextLeft. Perhaps I worded that a bit badly. What I meant was that when designing a procedure, the designer would avoid a missed approach procedure which would conflict with an approach procedure. Radio failure etc, must make this vital.

Missed approaches are normally designed such that worst case (single engined) go-around climb gradients are accounted for with a close in turn or increased minima if required . I don't think terrain is a factor here as it is out over the sea.

I believe that an aircraft may be cleared to commence a VOR procedure at say 3000' if the preceeding is on the approach below 2000'.

On this approach, an aircraft heading for the VOR from the west at 3000' would conflict with an aircraft going around on the westerly runway if it climbed above 2000'

I have kind of convinced myself (perhaps erroneously) that 1400' is a stop height for this reason. If it is, then given that the concensus is a climb to 3000' these charts are death traps!!
