In carrying out the missed approach off the 32 ILS the crew diverted off the published heading..........

Oooohhhh big news Dick, the 737 was probably climbing at 3,000 to 4,000 fpm anyway, what the hell could they hit at YMLT for the 40 seconds they were below MSA?? They'd be nearly over the field anyway..

Besides, even if Radar was fitted the controller wouldn't not have had sufficient time to notice, then call the Aircraft before they reached a safe Alt anyway....

Yes the crew need to be checked/trained in missed approach procedures but don't think that Radar would have made this safer....
