While we are stealing the thread, if an ILS missed approach point is the DH (A) on the course and on glide path, what would be the defined missed approach point on the ILS 27, circle to land 9, in your example? As I understand it, you would miss upon reaching MDA, on course, on glide path. I am just trying to explain the reasoning behind flying the LOC procedure to the circling MDA, rather than an ILS which does not have a MDA associated with it.

Yes, I know the answer, use the MAP as defined in the LOC procedure, timing or DME, and descend on glide path to circling MDA, level off and wait for the MAP to accomplish the missed approach procedure. But, that is a rather made-up procedure, IMHO. All that is gained is a rather ineffective path to the MDA.

Giving deference to the superior skills at your operation, do they have to circle OEI or with partial flap and TERPS?
