Remember that you DO NOT do a missed approach right after reaching your minimum alt. For the ndb/non-precision approach, we actually have to stay at that minimum altitude and track inbound until we reach the MAP (missed approach point). To get MAP, we usually have DME if available or simply use our timer when we pass our final approach fix. Once we pass the DME/time, then we follow missed approach procdures. There are time when I flew 400 AGL right above people's houses for like 1-2 minutes waiting to see the runway. Usually gets you close to the field to transition to visual, and you got to act quick.
Real fun!
