I am just wandering who is the NUT! Who makes the missed approach procedures and is there not any organisation that is concerned about SAFETY!?
Ok, let me start at the beginning:
A missed approach is a procedure that is pretty unusual and in the "dangerzone" (below msa).
It is a procedure, that takes the full attention of the pilots, with a lot of configuration changes.
Why, oh why are there so many missed approaches that are totally useless!
To build my case:
---------------------------------------------
example 1)
Palma de Mallorca, Spain. ILS-bravo rwy 24L:
ILS freq: 109:3 IPAL
Missed Apch: Climb STRAIGHT AHEAD to D2.0 SSJ, then climbing turn LEFT (MAX IAS 185) direct MJV VOR and join holding at 3000
Palma is on the coast. Straight ahead is only sea.....
A)Why is there a turningpoint given, based upon a radiobeacon not even used during the whole approach (SSJ 117:7), that has to be selected while we are still changing configurations?
B)Why is it not for every airport worldwide..
STRAIGHT AHEAD, CLIMB XXX FEET (where possible concerning terrain...)
Where not possible:
STRAIGHT AHEAD, 500 FT, TURN HEADING XXX, CLIMB XXX FEET.
---------------------------------------------
example 2)
Amsterdam, Schiphol, Netherlands
EVERY RUNWAY (5 runways IN TOTAL) HAS THE SAME MISSED APPROACH INSTRUCTION!
STRAIGHT AHEAD, 2000 FEET. INFORM ATC !!!!
(THANK YOU AMSTERDAM!)
---------------------------------------------
We are talking about SAFETY, STANDARISATION here, worldwide. NOISE ABATEMENT is NOT a factor that can be used to argue.
Am I so wrong in my believe to make it safer by making it easier?
I rest my case.
Greetings MEL
