Approach design

288' height from missed approach point to threshold is not a lot to decide and alter course when on a 4° offset course, or perform a safe go-around. At that missed approach point you are 80 m to the right of the extended centerline and 4° of course. The Jeppchart does not make immediately clear that you are on an offset course. It draws the visual approach course along the centerline.

For sure this approach design is to be legal (I am no specialist), but you can wonder how safe it is. 288' height is not a lot on an offset non-precision approach.
