In times gone by there used to be a fair few approaches that didn't terminate at an airfield. They were cloud break procedures, there to give an IFR aircraft in IMC the opportunity to get to VMC or to make use of visual procedures within 30nm of an airfield.

Bromelton NDB south of Brisbane had one as did a few other aids. Damned if I can remember the others though.
